rock mkv

just slammed mkv into my own system
installed graham phantom and koetsu onyx
result?
musical bliss!
never before have i heard such a 3 dimensional sound allied to such musical power
never before have i had such naturalness... sublty,speed,dynamics,detail,PRAT,dynamic range,all rolled into one.
the mkV is truly a work of art both sonically and aesthetically.
had a turntable comparison with my friends lp12 keel ekos2
akiva in HIS SYSTEM
the end result is he feels the lp12 has to go!
compared to the rock it sounds 2 dimensional and very noisy!
anybody out there looking for a final deck should put the rock v on the audition list
but audition it at your own peril?
you will have to spend quadruple funds to better this deck
so my opinion is this
do you waste years trying to get results from lesser decks?
or do you buy a rock?

heard some good feedbacck regarding nu force 9s
siltrains swears by his and uses the same phonostage as myself
how are those ribbon tweeters?
at a guess i'd say your'e response will be FAST!
I used my rock today with and without the damping trougth
that trougth really dors work
the most noticeable attribute is better control of sibilance
thus making the human voice seem more natural and real.
pehaps you could optimise one to work with your orbe?

decoupling the armboard has been a question i have pondered for many a year.
it seems to me to make such LOGICAL sense but manufacturers
seem to ignore this i guess because of installation
i did build a tt out of old roksan spares and mounted the arm on a small wall shelf behind the deck
the results were certainly positive until the wife used to clean/polish
she always managed to move the deck!
i may in the future try this again with the rock
the rock is heavy enougth to not give the same problem
maybe great minds do work alike
but some say fools follow blindly!
good luck with the system
ps
heard an orbe with tom evans dc motor power supply and it sounded superb!
