Thank you very much for the invaluable info. I will start out with the stock tubes and run the cart for around 50 hours and then defiantely try the WE417a. Im happy to hear that the Allnic doesnt seem to be sensitive to cabling. Im gonna try the DNM cables which I think have a nice technology behind them.

Cjfrbw, thanks for the info. I have not heard it myself yet, but from other people the Allnic phono/cart combo is supposed to be very good. I was at first going to try the Strain Gauge but decided to go for the Allnic. Can you find WE417a on ebay or similar? What ICs do you use to cnnect the Allnic to pre, and hows the sensitivity to Power cords?

Hi,

I see you have a Allnic 1500 phono. I have just ordered one myself and wonder if you can say something about swapping the tubes? Also have you tried it with the Allnic cart?
