Next upgrade for my analog source

jperry, I've heard it's big brother The L20 extensively and the circuitry is almost identical. The big one just has more units resulting in a lower signal to noise ratio. I would buy one tomorrow but it is $42,000.00.
After reading the TAS review it is obvious that the little guy has all of the major virtues of the L20 now in it's MkII version.  

Jperry, that is true and it is an extremely easy thing to disconnect chassis ground from the signal wires. With a warm soldering Iron it might take me 10 minutes. It is unfortunate that something like this should scare an audiophile. To disregard what might be the absolute best value in a phono amp for that reason is rather silly. IMHO the minimum audiophile kit is a set of small screwdrivers,  set of metric Allen wrenches. small diagonal cutters, small needle nose pliers a soldering iron and some solder. Shrink wrap of various sizes is a nice add on.  Not having this is like a cyclist who can't work on his bike so for every little adjustment he has to go back to the bike store? Helpless. 

jperry, that makes absolutely no sense. Why would a tone arm make it impossible to use a computer program? If you had a turntable with a built in phono amp with equalization you could still use Pure Vinyl to record you would just deactivate it's equalization feature. Check out Channel D's web site. The only problem I have with Pure Music which I use the most is that every two hours or so it will choke and has to be rebooted. Something to do with a memory overload with the newer apple operating systems. It is supposed to be corrected next release. 
justmetoo, just because you prefer MM cartridges does not mean everyone has to buy one. The vast majority of critical listeners with elaborate systems over the $75,000 dollar mark prefer MC cartridges. I would take any Lyra cartridge over any MM cartridge in a heartbeat and I am absolutely sure I am not alone in that sentiment. This does not include Grado and probably Soundsmith as they are moving iron cartridges. 
Jadislover, Channel D is direct purchase only. You buy it on line. The unit runs on batteries and I believe has a universal power supply for recharging which it does automatically when you turn it off. But you should check if it runs on the power you have.

jadislover, I would go for the Lyra. If you go for a phono amp you'd best look at a Channel D Lino C 2.0. It is eons away from any other phono amp in it's price range, just ask Michael Fremer. I am very seriously considering getting one and I have always used ARC phono stages.
If you buy Pure Vinyl you can use your computer to equalize the record and record vinyl to your hard drive. This allows you to do neat stuff like compare different cartridges using the same record.
