RE: Aolivero asks, "what do you think of the Tron Seven? Does it have the detail and bass strength of the Solid State units?"
I use a Tron Seven. The Tron replaced a fully up to date Tom Evans Groove Plus. I used both stages with a Verdier table, Da Vinci arm and DRT XV-1s cartridge. They're both great, but I prefer the Tron over the Groove Plus (which means I save a lot of money too). To be honest, I'm not really a sophisticated listener with regard to being able to describe the exact differences in sound. All I know is that the Seven sounds more real, more connected, more coherent. Regarding bass strength, I have no complaints.
