I took the plunge and ordered a Puritan Audio PSM 156. Should be here this weekend. From what I've read, it should be killer. Afraid the price would go up substantially if I waited longer. www.partsconnexion.com has a great deal on them. |
As a result of streaming, I ordered this on lp....
Marianne Faithful "Broken English"

Getting ready to listen to the Puritan Audio PSM 156. Gonna try it on my front end first. Replacing the Shunyata Hydra 8 & 6. Left it plugged in with a fan for the last 20 hours.
My front end and "back end" are on two separate dedicated lines. I measured the "back end" out of the Shunyata 4 that is daisy-chained to a V-Ray with my Alpha Labs EMI meter and the reading hovers around 350 mv. Just measured the Puritan on the front end line at 115mv. A substantial decrease that should translate into clearer sound. |

Traffic "When the Eagle Flies" |
.........failed to mention that the Puritan replaced an Akiko Audio triple AC enhancer as well.
Warming up with Damien Rice "O", the last lp I listened to on Sunday. The cartridge always takes around 30 minutes to start sounding good. Right off the bat, I hear many improvements though. Acoustic guitar..... the plucked strings have increased resonance and clarity. Bass is more impactful and deeper. On one song there’s crowd noise in the background, like a gathering in another room.....it is more easily heard. Lisa Hannigan’s vocals are more easily heard and more meaningful.
Using the 2m/15 gauge Puritan PC that came with the 156. |
Amy Winehouse "At The BBC" |
|
Duke Ellington "Masterpieces"
AP/45rpm |
Seriously thinking about another Puritan. |

@spiritofradio,
James, you seem to be laying back recently. What's up with that ? |
Cool Tim! I’m sure the Cubs sound good, but still nothing like a full range speaker to bring out the full scale of music.
|
BTW, the Amy lp is great!!!
Recommended! |

The Beta Band "The Patty Patty Sound" |
Probably less expensive than the Cubs. |
