| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Hi Steve,I just soldered KLEI to the tonearm interconnect instead of Furutech 126 (G).I use WBT solder. The first impression is: the sound more transparent, better separation, details low level details, better focus. The tone is OK.What I didn't l... | |

| Head-ups for fans of AricAudio designs. His new Super 211 SET two chassis amplifier Hi @aricaudio ,Thank you for reply.I know that some designers use 300B tube to drive for 211.300B is even more linear and transparent, but it is much more expensive than EL34, and not everybody like 300B sound signature. EL34 should sound faster.I... | |

Hi @rauliruegas ,Yes, I know that EMT tonearms are not a "state of art" as well their phonostages both tube and transistors. But their TT (except models: 928 and 938) and cartridges are really very good.EMT950 and EMT948 where on the same market a... | |
