Nice....Whats the phono stage..??

We've lost count of the phono stages the client uses. Currently he has a Luxman EQ500, various E.A.R phono stages and step up transformers, Quad 24P, a few MoFi ones, Acoustic Research - those are the ones that we know of!

I finally got around to strapping the outputs of my Audio Technica AT33PTG, which I had retipped earlier this year, and after couple of false starts, the end result is very satisfactory. It should put thoughts of dedicated mono cartridges out of my mind, at least for a little while!

The 17d3 on my Audio Origami PU7 in action.  I have changed the vtf to 2.15g with a bit more bass weight and possibly less crackle on the odd record. I previously had it at 1.9g. 

 

Would like to to know what any other 17d3 owners are setting vtf at.

Purchased an original Rega Planar 2 to replace my Project Carbon Debut and try to integrate better with my work system. Aesthetics were (to my mind) improved but sound quality wasn’t as good so (as suggested by my SNA vendor who was great to deal with) replaced the old cartridge and tonight installed a Garrott K1 Dynamic Coil cartridge.  My magic is back with a vengeance!!

AT OC9ml2 back in the PLX 1000...this time feeding a Naim Superline /Supercap DR loaded @ R453/1nf ( same as I use for the Big DV )....I've owned this cart for 6 years bought as a back up and occasionally I'll fire it up .....have to say into the Naim phono stage its the best its ever sounded.....better than the Linn phono's I've had which has surprised me...in a nice way....:thumb:
