Always seeking the elusive I guess! Analogue rules the day. Linn is superb with Naim ARO, if you dony mind being a little lighter in the bass than an Ekos. If you want a real surprise pick up a Connie and try one. Some regard as toys but I love them and they are serious purist turntables.
I feel passionate about unipivot arms even though logic tells me somehow they shouldn't compete with the like of an SME V. I think they go way beyond, but I guess thats just a personal take on a complex subject.
If you have taken the time to read these few words can I close by extending my personal hope that you and your family/friends enjoy a happy and safe world wherever you are and that somehow we all learn to live together happily on this chunk of rock twirling through space! Regards Tony

Superb sounstage. Excellent match with SME 3009II Improved tonearms. Great detail and instrument placement/spacing. Used by sony as diamond-profile.boron cantilever minimizes dammage to their archive: very nughly recommended. More analytical than musical perhaps.
