Is anyone using a Clearaudio Arurm Beta S with there Bottlehead Seduction phono stage? I am thinking of building one.

It is a very good match with respect to gain. I agree that the C4Sis worthwhile. I love the seduction. Have since switched carts but not sure I needed to.

It came with a pair NOS National tubes. First play, it sounded better than what I had. Twenty hours later, it came alive! Blind Faith sounded as if was in the studio. This thing is cool!

I have one using NOS Amperex Bugle Boy tubes and running an AT150MLX. I love the combination but I've been curious about other cartridges to try recently, are you using the Clearaudio Arurm you mentioned in your original post? Can anyone else recommend a good cartridge to use with the Bottlehead?
