Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading?


Is it the table, arm or cartridge, or perhaps phono stage? Assuming you have no clear weak links. Maybe even motor controller ?

I should clarify, experiment was conducted sans surfer GF as that would have cosst me half of everything 

@inna Ya, i might hunt down a Balance for giggles … but what would be more likely is a RonT power supply, Bardo heavy… or as @mulveling so astutely points out locating the TT outside the listening room whilst hiring a surfer girl Friday to deal with spinning records… BTW, ive done this and the variables in trade are MUCH better isolation vs a 1 M XLR from phono to 5 M XLR… which w a silver cable is not taco money….

i do plan to run that experiment this Summer w same Triplaner arm / Kuzma cartridge / armboard on DP-75 vs Brinkmann Bardo. TT isolation same HRS, captive cable remains constant… VTA will change…. i dont really expect the heavens to part…. but…..

pick muscular players… a generic answer..

or more specific like Kuzma vs Lyra..but just my opinion
