Just seen this Birdwatcher ,
The XV 1t is a fantastic cartridge , mine is now many years old .
Just put it back in place of my Lyra Lambda ( also excellent ) , so easy to set up .
Audio Research ref 2 and then 2 box ref 10 , I loved both but I then heard the top Constellation solid state phono and I believe the extra detail was so needed .
I have a tube pre amp , I then heard the HSE in my system and it just made everything work , vinyl is all I listen too .
Don't worry...

I have the Atlas Lambada on a SAT tonearm ( 1st generation ) sounds wonderful , also through Magico S7 speakers
Love your system , thanks for sharing
Yes Jeffy they do
I have the diamond viper running from my reed tonearm to phono stage , great cable .
Im in the Uk sourced all my LFD cables from Peter Downs at Alternative Audio
