It is hard to compare the two. I seem to enjoy the way the music just seems to "flow" out of the rig with the T-3 in it. The system consists of a HW-19 Mk3-4ish. Sumiko Blackbird cartridge that feeds a DIY Phonoclone 3 phono stage. That runs into a ASL preamp and then on to a pair of Transcendent SC-150 mono blocks. Speakers are Snell E-IIIs. Cables are all DIY VH-audio fine silver wire jobs. The system while not as refined as my He-man rig is enjoyable in a way that is hard to describe. The music seems to just pour out and I attribute that to the tonearm as the digital side while nice, is not the same. I'll try and update my systems page.
