Just added a Placette Passive Linestage and its great! I also got some new Transparent Ultra and Supper MM2 cables. Still breaking them in. I have a new CD Transport and DAC. I think I want to get a EMM CD Player.
pj, ff, shins, mull+monk...all good stuff. I had a project (rm-4) for a little while before I got a scout, you will be floored when you vinally get your vpi...I was. Good luck with the upgrades and happy listening.
