They are working on my 20 year old McIntosh CD player right now, maybe I can con them into letting me listen to this phono pre.
I've heard the other Doshi equipment, once heard you really do not feel a need to listen to anything else in the other rooms, and just end up in the sweet spot until it's somebody else turn.

you will like the Graham as you will be dead nutz on for VTF and VTA on the fly in seconds for any record thickness because of the bubble level on the pivot tower, plus you can get multiple arm wands ready to go for different carts.
Congratulations Bruce. You will love the SME 30. Your system will be awesome. My audio mentor has a system very similar to yours: SME 30/2 with V, SME 30/12 with V-12, Pass XA100.5, Pass XS150, Pass XP30, Wilson Alexia, all wired with TA Opus MM2.
Albert Porter and Frank750 might give you some good advice about SME and cartridges. Frank has a Goldfinger in a V-12 and Albert has the Atlas and AirTight in a V-12 and also likes the Koetsu Coralstone.
If you keep the SME V, the Sumiko Palo Santos could be part of your something - an excellent performer in the SME system. IMHO, it is a very neutral cartridge and it has excellent tracking and low vinyl modulation noise.
I know Nick was using the Koetsu at the show and I thought it was outstanding. I've heard the other cartridges in different systems and thought there were all great as well.

I just started going analogue after 20 years of digital. I acquired the SME 30/2 with the latest Kiseki Blue NS cartridge and this combination is very musical. Next up will be one of the Koetsus.
