Second the Lyra Delos recommendation. I'm running a VPI with a Delos through a Manley Chinook phono stage. The improvement with the Delos was NOT subtle. I've also read the Soundsmith cartridge is a great match but don't have direct experience.
Please evaluate my system...
Interested in what you guys think of the following and if there are any obvious weaknesses:
- VPI Super Scoutmaster (standard)
- Denon DL103 with Paratrace retip
- Linn Linto phono stage
- Audio Research Ref 3 preamp
- Cyrus APA7.5 Monoblocks
- Focal Scala Utopia III Version 1
Not sure where to take the system next! Thanks, Tim
