So I’ve had this table and SS cart for 3 weeks now and it’s a sizeable step up in sonics from my previous Rega P10 /Aphelion2 which shared the same room for about a week before I had to say goodbye to the Rega when it sold.
I actually can’t get over how there is such an increase in fidelity. I loved the Rega and its low mass engineering philosophy and thought of it as an endgame component. I hesitate to put into words the differences with adjectives all reviewers and the like throw around so I’ll just say that this combination is noticeably more explosive in dynamics and subtle cues which to me means a more holographic soundstage and leave it at that.
My local dealer really nailed the synergies of the linear tracking and Soundsmith Paua mkII cart.
I even got a little crazy and upgraded the generic Bergmann record weight with the Stillpoint Ultra LP Isolator II and that is a beautifully crafted 1.5 lb piece of steel. It’s also so easy to A/B the differences back and forth on the same song between no weight, the generic, and the Stillpoint.
