    My personal phono stage reference: Phasemation EA-2000

    Maybe? Chris West my Naim Tech(Guru) for 15 years, swears they are by far the best sounding. I had a couple different Vishay's that I tried. I can't say for sure but for 20$ so it seemed silly not to get the "best" given the extremely low level signals. That being said I ultimately prefer no...

    My personal phono stage reference: Phasemation EA-2000

    I am running an Azule Platinum into a MC16 SUT and VPS100. I used some TOTL loading plugs to bring the load from 185 to 100. Nude Z-foil based. I strongly preferred unloaded into this SUT.

    Back to the Beginning MM Carts. Charisma V2 Installed.

    I found a great deal on a Innovation with TT3 , after 15 hours of messing with it I got my Benz worn RubyH to play with no stutters or hang ups. My intended destination cart for the arm, an Azule, was mind blowing when it worked, like other worldly, but ultimately could not avoid hang ups...

    Best phono stage?

    The Ypsilon is stellar. I am now running a freshly mounted Azule Platinum through a MC16. My Lamm LP2 D was great with NOS 417A's, but the Ypsilon is on another planet.

    Thanks. It was a big purchase. Hard to audition in house. The drop in noise floor was immediate. There was clearly something special happening. Thanks goodness, it weighed over 300#'s.

    Thats very cool. I own a 9bst 5 channel amp in my home theater and think of their sound as cool to neutral. This SUT came with silver interconnects IIRC, very unlike what I would have expected from Bryston.

    I have a Azule Platinum being installed by Mr Trei. It will go through the mc16 into my VPS100. I'm very excited. My 2/2/22 B-day gift.

    Kuzma 4Point - which tonearm wire?

    I've tried Valhalla 2, Clear, Audience, TYR 1&2, by far a length of Chord Music from my SUT to my Ypsilon VPS100 was the best. My Universal arm has a fixed cable that looks like Cardas, but when my TT3 gets here I'll look for another Music, on secondary. It's the best cable I've ever used. I...
