Assembly of the K&K is not that bad. If you can solder a PC board, 20 or so hours should do it. If you do decide to build it, high quality solder such as Cardas Eutectic and a temp. controlled soldering iron are highly recommended.
Phono stage help for Nott Spacedeck/Anna/Dynavectr
Hello, once again I am searching for help from the experts. I have my Spacedeck up and running and definitely see what all the fuss is about vinyl. Good records are sounding great & great records are sounding incredible. I have been using the built in MM phono stage of my DK Design VS1-II with good success. I know there is much improvement to be had with a stand alone phono stage. My current cartridge is a Dynavector 20x-h which I like so far. I think it is a pretty sweet value. The phono stages I am considering in the future are as follows: Please comment or make suggestions....
Eastern Electric Minimax tube phono stage, Art Audio Vinyl One (or K&K Phono same stage right?), Pass Labs XONO, & Whest 20. I won't be able to audition at this time. Please let me know your thoughts or opinions. My system link is good still accept for the Nott Spacedeck/anna arm isn't updated yet. Thanks again.
