fully upgraded LP-12, Ekos, and Krystal
How do like the Krystal? I have the same TT/arm with a Kandid and Urika in the plinth. I’d read some criticism the Kandid was a bit sterile and lacking “warmth”. However my experience has been quite the opposite I guess because of the vacuum tubes the signal encounters after leaving the Urika.

I agonized b/w Kandid and Krystal. I had a budget though including a Lingo IV, new trampolin, etc - and because my preamp gives the warmth I like and my amp gives weight and heft - and my taste is so wide - I settled on the Krystal. I probably could have done better, but no complaints so far from rock to jazz to vocal to classical. Big improvement over my previous Benz Micro 2.0.

You got me beat. My previous cartridge was one step above a cactus quill (a Shure SC39ED, the radio station gold standard for many years).

@reubent Tom, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't have Momofuku in my vinyl collection. I do have it on my network. I haven't listened to it in a while. I may need to go on a hunt for the vinyl.
@corelli welcome to the threat. It's nice to see I'm not the only one with 4 systems scattered around my house!

For any of you Elvis Costello fans (I'm referring mostly to you @big_greg 😁), that EC record I played earlier tonight - "Momofuku" is pretty darn good, considering almost no one has ever heard of it... Check it out via streaming if you have any interest in Elvis Costello. It's a 2008 release, that was first released on 2XLP vinyl and as a digital download, then later released on CD.
It's a rocker, with The Imposters and guests,
All you Jenny Lewis fans...she's on a bunch of tracks here(Jonathan Rice & Farmer Dave appear too)

Fantastic 👍🏼 Checking out the new pre, am listening to a lot of stuff I know well, but am looking forward to digging through my classical selections later. In a fairly short period of time, I believe my classical collection is larger now than any other genre of music after nibbling around the edges of it for years. Fascinating stuff.

@sbank
You inspired me to pull out my Trick of the Tail LP. Dare I say it sounds better than the CD?
Dang that is a great album. In retrospect, I can't ever recall my parents asking me to "turn it down." Remarkable. As I recall it sounded pretty darn good on my Altec Santana II's. I'm smiling as I type.
