Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b
@clustrocasual amazing thanks for the detailed reply. I will try and learn some from Skunkie’s work on the Sun Audio.  There seems to be more awareness about the Sun Audio amp I guess maybe because it’s been around for longer in its current form. ... 
Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b
@clustrocasual I am also interested in these 2 amps. Did you manage to find any more information which would help compare the two ?.

@siesp so the isolation transformer gives you a clean power source separate from any external noise and what does UPS do ?  
"But it sounds better at night...."
I notice that sometimes things just seem to click into place more than other times and I guess it happens to be in the evening more often than not.  I feel like I have a pretty nice system but have avoided spending huge amounts on cabling and powe...

FR64 cartridge suggestions
Great Replies thank you @mulveling ​​​​@lewm  I have a few headshells I can start with and will experiment from there.  I guess the 64s or 64fx question was in my mind also. Someone convinced me the 64s was the one to go for out of the 2 if I wa... 
FR64 cartridge suggestions
RE-surfacing an old thread here. Wondering if someone can tell me about head-shell compatibility with these FR64 tone arms?. Can I use regular headshells like I would on a technics 1200g arm for example? . If so what can be said about the native F... 
Can I get more out of my Koetsu ?
@lewm I ordered a set of head shell bolts designed for the purpose of experimenting with adding mass, like you said. The heaviest are about 6g so the difference = + 5g. My counter weight wasn't heavy enough to counter this much additional weight s...

Thanks everyone, enjoying the discussion. @mulveling you have offered SUT advice previously and I am really happy with the difference in sound sound the MC4 has made. I kept the interconnect short as you suggested and will try out some shorter int...

@jasonbourne52 totally. Sometimes I have to make myself get off my ass and go help another human with their problems just to stop my worrying about my own irrelevant crap.  😂

@ghdprentice Appreciate your message and approach. Thank you   
Can I get more out of my Koetsu ?
@mijostyn I got the EAR MC4 to give me options for what loading different carts want to see. I currently have the Koetsu plugged into the 3Ω taps. I will experiment with he other taps too but its sounding pretty good here. Am I solving the the sam...

@ghdprentice which direction would you think if heading in re- Phono upgrade?. I do like the sound of he EAR.

@yogiboy ordered  @dogberry nice idea. I have been on the road for the last 20years so don't have a bunch of old formats laying around to recycle so I will start with a blank record. Found one for $8 which seems pretty reasonable.
