Accuphase AC3 Phono Cartridge - bought on recommendations from the mags - "best imaging cartridge ever made" - sound familar. Cold as a well digger's ....! Decided to live with my Grace 'til it died.
Next in line was my Thiel CS3 "best imaging..." you get the point. But the good news - I got a very extensive and expensive education in how to get it the proper amp, how speaker set up the speakers, how to treat a room, etc. But like you might do with I mate, as I was trying to get it to work I discovered Quads, which caused the Thiel and I to get a divorce.
