Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Gotcha JaFox.I have several K$ invested in my analog front end but never expect to do the same with digital -- things just change too quickly. I chased the "best" for about 10 years and plain got tired of it.

Jeezziz,,, after reading all this stuff it feels really good to put an LP on the TT, drop the needle and relax. ;-) 
London Decca
I've used a Super Gold with my Well Tempered Amadeus TT for about 4 years now and have had NO trouble with warps at all. This combination of arm/cartridge is, IMO, a nearly ideal match.

Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
Quicksilver, Quicksilver, Quicksilver, Quicksilver, and Quicksilver.... any of the larger variety will do a splendid job.

Just ordered a WT Amadeus and Dynavector XX2 mk2
Take care and time to get things set up correctly. Listen a while then go back over it all again. At that point it should sound considerably better than what you've been listening to, if not do it again till it does. ;-)Doak

Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare
The Decca London Super Gold works beautifully on my Well Tempered Labs Turntable/tonearm -- like a marriage made in heaven. 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
