RFI - Turntable Rig
Actually the A90 has not yet been added to the rig. Will do so in a few weeks. Whest are being very helpful and this is a first for them as their units are renown for being extremely quiet. 
RFI - Turntable Rig
Thanks - I am using an Ortofon Black Credenza or A90 cartridge. 
Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm.

SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's
I use Audiopax Model 88 monoblocks on these speakers and have been very pleased with the results - certainly worth auditioning if you can.
