Appreciate your responses as always. Makes sense to buy locally and get the Stradivari and support. Just was so curious about obtaining the passion that people describe the purple heart with. I'm sure either will sound great with my Maggies.
Kiseki Purple Heart vs Clearaudio Stradavari
I am leaning heavily toward purchasing the Clearaudio Innovation Wood/Universal 9 Tonearm, of which I was able to audition with the Clearaudio Stradivari. It sounded wonderful but my heart was set on the Purple Heart which I have not heard, just hear people talk about it with such passion. Not that I don't trust my own ears I just appreciate feedback from the community if anyone has experienced a direct comparison.
