I'm considering getting another tubed mm phono stage and both the Don Sachs and Hagerman Trumpet MM interest me.I'd be using my Hirata Tango SUT with them.

| SUT into MM input section of Solid State Phono Stage Yes, I know that my Forte is not a State of the Art phono stage. I had bought it to be used just as a backup for my main phono stage. I never thought of the Forte as being bad, but I was certainly cognizant that there are much better available.H... | |

I’m curious if there would be much sonic difference if any by using the Audio Sensibility Statement Silver "interconnect" vs their Statement Silver "phono" cable between the SUT and the Phono Stage?

| Best Interconnect with Step Up Transformer I appreciate everyone's responses so far! I just looked at Audio Sensibility's website. It looks interesting to me. I haven't been able to find anything related to the amount of capacitance in their cables though. Any idea on that front?I like... | |
