A new combo never tried here before. The Koetsu Blue Lace is now for the first time going through the AirTight ATH-2 Reference SUT and into the MM input on the D’Agostino Momentum phonostage. Don’t know why I haven’t tried this before as it is a killer setup !!!
Ghost - Opus Eponymous from 2010 on yellow splatter vinyl at 33rpm. Enjoy !
Clearly you improve the signal to noise of the phono amp (lower gain) and a better match of the low-impedance cartridge. They always benefit from the mc transformer, regardless of whether it is in front of a transistor or tube phono.

I know - I just never used the Blue Lace in this configuration before. I have always used other cartridges. I’m glad I have tried it now. Gives me yet ””another”” high kick blast in the audioroom - This hobby is so much fun !!
