After some happy month with TechDAS AF3P, various Arms and Carts plus the Phasemation EA-2000 I was interested,
if I am now biased to this gear, or if I would be open to enjoy a complete different set up in similar price range, just to open up the mind again.
Inspired from the Esoteric T-1 thread, I might go to Munich to look for the next step in turntables...
My first step in doing so, is to try to understand the current level better and to listen to similar priced gear to get the quality of the current compromise more clear.
Just by chance I got the opportunity to install the following components in my set up for a week, may be longer:
YUKI AP-01 Turntable
Allnic H-8000 DHT Phonostage
TechDAS TDC-01 cartridge
Specially the YUKI turntable has some interesting new Design approaches, which are explained on the homepage The Allnic is well known in WBF, but new to me.
I had the H-7000v for some time, so at least I understand how to connect ;-)
The techDAS cartridge is out of my collection, so well known. This will help me to understand YUKI and Allnic better.
Today I finished the installation and I am enjoying the first songs, which are playing full of energy, mainly in the upper bass / lower mids,
but with less information /details than I am used to from my standard set up
I might will play around with some cables to fine tune.
to be continued...
