If I try to describe the improvements it may sound cliché, nonetheless - I listened to the AP issue of Cassandra Wilson's New Moon Daughter and Blue Light Til Dawn and Allen Toussaint's American Tunes and the clarity and texture of these recordings were simply richer and fuller with a crispness to each note and what appeared to be more background detail.
My rig is pretty simple - a Music Hall MMF 9.1 TT through a Marantz PM-11S3 integrated amp using the built in phono preamp. Speakers are Focal Chorus 836V and matching SW800V subwoofer. No special room treatment other than the usual basement clutter that comes with three kids.
I expect to spin a lot of vinyl this fall. Anyone in the market for a gently used Dynavector 10X5?
