Correct, 3012R.So you used the same pivot on the AF5 and the CS, and not comparing the LT of CS to a pivot on the AF5?

Here I love my Aesthetix Io Eclipse. Long time the absolute sound reviewer, Don Saltzman, loves his as well.I’m searching for a tube phono stage, any recommendations? something that in same league of CH Precision P1
Thanks, I will put them in the top of my list if I will choose to buy phono stage based on tube and not solid state like the CH P1.
i own and love the CS Port LFT1, and can fully appreciate your preference for the CS Port. it's a very special sounding turntable.
another very fine phono stage to consider is the EMIA Phono corrector with the MC Trio which will accept up to 3 phono inputs. owned mine now for 3 years and really enjoy it. it plays with the big boys.
this analog is a good fit for my Wadax. i can go back and forth and it's very complimentary to the musical flow.
of course. my point was simply that the performance of the CS Port tt's are a cut above many others. string drive. high mass platter. no servo. low pressure, low flow, air float. much in common between the CS Port models for how they sound. musically right and immersive to my ears. pulls you in. exciting, relaxed and engaging.Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, the CSPort LFT model not in my list only the TAT1 and TAT2 models, also the Kronos Sparta in my list.

does not hurt that they are also works of art in a zen way. timeless. the materials and finish quality is outstanding.
I always liked EAR 834P. A couple of years ago, I merely forced a friend to buy a used one for $600. He couldn’t understand the potential, and one or two years later, he sold it with a profit.You will also be surprised how good the Ear 834p phono stage that comes at 1 - 2k used additionally rolled with Telefunken and/or Mullard tubes sounds compared to many uber priced phonos.

Its internal SUTs are pretty mediocre, but as a MM phono, it’s great in my opinion.

We did too, with the normal ear 834p rolled to telefunkenSome of my friends have preferred the dual mono EAR834P to other much more expensive phonos
Hi, Holbo mk2 new, available for 6k eur, at least you'll know what you're getting. Put it on a good table and install a good cartridge (I'll tell you which one)Hi,
I want to add turntable to my system, I checked few options and I have 4 competitors, please let me know which option is better from your experience.
1. Kronos Sparta
2. SME synergy Diamond Series (with nagra phono stage)
3. CSPort TAT1M2
4. CSPort TAT2M2
For the phono stage, the CH Precision P1 is my favorite (I have CH preamp and amplifier in my setup so it’s perfect match).
I did not decide yet which turntable I will choose but also, I’m searching for a tube phono stage, any recommendations? something that in same league of CH Precision P1
