Well, Digital became better but it is still like having a shower with thousands of little ice pieces, while listening to Analog is like having the shower with water. 
Tom Evens Groove Plus
My audiophile friend and me did a Phono Stage Comparison between Groove+, Klyne 7 and one I forgot. When we connected the Groove+ after the Klyne we thought both, that we made a fault with interconnects or something like that. Good as it is, but r... 
best choice cartridge for my Lamm LP 2
The gain from the Lp2 is ok for nearly all kind of Cartridges. More important is the gain from the linked Pre Amp.And forget the 40 ohm load here. I don't know why, but the LP2 sounds amazingly good with every cartridge I connected with. I also ow... 
best tonearm for Kondo IO-J cart.
Well, one of my audiophile friends uses his Kondo IO (Latest Generation) with the brand new Kondo KSL step up and he prefers this combination much more than without the KSL. His main Phono unit is the Boulder Phono. I think, taste may be different...

Levinson 320S Phono Module vs. Klyne 7PX
Go for a Klyne. Still one of the best sounding Phono Stages out there. 
Benz Ruby 2 vs Ruby 3
I am not really sure, but I think, the Ruby 3 has a shorter Cantilever ( or needle?). Anyway, the Benz Systems are good to listen to. I prefer them more than others, but they all have one in common: I always 'rated' my records with them ( ... good...

Aesthetix Callisto owners help please
There was lots of info about the Callisto written. I use a Callisto Signature and I share the opinion of Cmo.I also use NOS Tubes and it is an improvement but even with Stock tubes it is really good. A real amazing good unit.

12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend?
