JC3+ With Kleos SL?
Have both the Lyra Helikon and the Lyra Helikon SL, the SL is quite a bit better than the higher output standard model and yes 64 db of gain with your J3 should be fine, go for it. 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
I am sorry couldn't finish the vidio, had to go play an album.  
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
@bac2vinyl, please don’t assume that just because no one would pay you a $100.00 an hour to watch you work that they wouldn’t pay me $100.00 an hour to see me ply my trade. Cheers. 
Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this?

This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
The Schitt Sol turntable is on my radar as well, have been wanting to add vinyl to my headphone rig and non of the budget tables have moved me up to now, wanted to keep it a real budget system and I really like what I see.

@chakster, the picture of the cantilever/stylus assembly you posted is for which ZYX? Thanks for posting that, a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

@chakster, so glad you don't have a problem with it, I can rest easy now.
