This is the first system I have built. It is a combination of new and used components (craigslist and audiogon). When I first turned it on I was amazed at what I heard and couldn't get the smile off of my face.
Ayles, Great feedback, thanks! I also can agree that the AR was the single best improvement I have made. I'm done!!! I added a Goldring Erocia LOMC .5mv with the 100ohm resistors in place and it's magical. I also had the once over from my local service center and they replaced the tubes and such. I have always heard Vandy's will sing like nothing else when paired up with AR gear. Great system brother!
How do you like your SP6? I just picked up an SP9MKIII but the phono stage has such a high output (67db) I am forced to go with a low output MC. Not complaining at all, just wanted your thoughts. Thanks!
