Description

I am just searching to have a very relaxed, open, and airy system. Wide sound stage and focus/very clean dynamics are my first priorities, nothing puts me on edge more than mistracking or thin emotionless sound. The speakers and cartridge I currently have I am looking to swap out here in the next year or so when I put together the funds. Love to hear some opinions!

Maybe some Audio Note speakers?

Hi, I too love the simplicity of your system. I have had a Dynavector XX2MKII (Soundsmith retip), that I've been using for years.

What I enjoy much more though, is A Zu Denon 103R that I sent to ESCCO in England for their saphire cantilever/Paratrace stylus mod (around $360 or so US), which, to my mind and ears, made it a world-class cartridge.

By the way, I'm using a DIY refurbed Garrard 401 with Dynavector 501 arm that just sounds beautiful, so obviously, I admire your choice of turntables.

Regards, and enjoy,
Dan
