Description

The sound is very musical. The real strength of my system is it's balance. There isn't any one part of the sound that nags at me to the point where I'm not enjoying the music. I know the sound could improve with various upgrades, but right now I'm happy until that day comes. In the next 2-3 years my wife, father, and I are going to have a custom house built which is going to include a properly designed two channel listening room. When that time comes I am going to do a major upgrade to my system. Speakers will be between Focal-JM Lab Nova Utopia Be and B&W 801D. Pre amp will be YBA Signature 6 chassis. Power amps will be between YBA Passion 1000 mono or YBA Signature 4 chassis mono. CD player will be YBA Passion 1000 dual power supply. Cables will be YBA Diamond throughout with speaker cables being run in shotgun configuration. Each component will have the appropriate Foundation Research power cord/filter. Analogue will be upgraded at a later date.

I use a Linn Basik Plus tonearm, and I was looking to try out my first MC cartridge. How are your MC's working out in your system?
