| Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge? I have an Ethos, i am upgrading to the new Ethos SE. That cart will sound different on every table. I have a Audio mods Series 6 Tone arm, and it is a delight on that setup. | |
| Help me pick a Dac I have the Aqua LA Voce DAc as well as a Saturn audio. Both in the $4K range. both sound close. | |
