    Thank you for your reply I listen to a wide variety of music but like jazz, classical, vocals, some rock if I can stand the recording, country and I have found almost any of the reissued 45 RPM albums most sound just wonderful. My VAC IQ 170 integrated I got without a phono stage. Prior to...

    It was a new cartridge, I had it with my old system which my son, when he was playing around destroyed it. I sent it back to dynavector and it was rebuilt. I listen to it with an all tube system at the time. Now I have a VAC IQ 170 integrated with a pass lab XP 17 phono stage. A Verdeir...

    I'm sorry I didn't list everything that I have. When I joined I listed all of my equipment I thought it was available to all member but my turntable is a Verdier La Platine. Regarding the 3012 R, I would consider it over the M2 but cannot locate one that's been rebuilt.
