End of the road turntable, extremely capable, i bet Willibald and his passion for attention to detail will bring out something improving it even further.

This deck has the new higher spec bearing oil and the new higher spec belt, both worthwhile changes. 

One of the great cartridges and when in need for change the exceed version would be on top of my list.

Very quiet, natural and great sounding phono stage units, simply excellent engineered, even lacking any adjustments. Reason for not going with the MM/MC version is the slightly bigger image offered, especially in width, by using separate MM stage and separate step up unit.

A notable increase in transparency and depth of midrange was noted after isolating the i-link function completely by disconnecting both the supply and ribbon cables, from the dac board. 

I have owned and enjoyed in the past some of the big Sony players like, XA707es, XA7es, SCD1, XA777es. 

This one has served me the longest though i regret letting go of XA7ES & SCD-1.

I really enjoy jazz, funk, ambient, electronica on this FM only tuner, late night listening is a very good experience. IF selectivity is exceptional in wide and outstanding in narrow mode.

For me this one should be on the super tuners list, even though not the quietest one. A good calibration is required after all these years and an external antena is a must.

All ageing parts (caps, regulators, op amps, lamps)  have been replaced. Resistors untouched.

A game changer. A tool, simple and pure with attention to detail, i would call it elegant engineering. Main strength is the absence of character leading to great transparency. There is more, extension, a very big soundstage, rock solid bass, natural warmth, speed and dynamics, ease of drive, all complete the picture of this wonderful mosfet amp. 

Finally for me it is a very good looking beast, a rare feat in Audio. Definitely a keeper.

PMC Twenty5.26i shows to be close to my last one. Many hours of pure listening pleasure, the disappearing act so easily executed.

Have tried it in other locations within the system with the same great results. My best I/C cable connected to the most sensitive unit in the system.

Very low capacitance also.

An astonishing signal cable.

SACD player ==> Preamp.

Connected from wall outlet to power distributor.

Powers phono stage.

Tuner ==> preamp.

Preamp ==> Power amp.

Tonearm ==> mc step up

Top value Furutech power cable and power plugs.

Connected from wall outlet to power anp.

Very similar to TCS31. Power Distributor ==> SACD player.

Very similar to TCS21.

Both great but the NCF version is in a class of its own.

Has served me well all these years, time to upgrade to either etp60RNCFor etp609NCF.

phono stage - line stage. G2 version.

MD at its best, a great recording machine especially from analogue sources (excellent DA converter?).

Can be used everywhere and even to appliances which are not connected directly to the audio system.

Very fast and transparent cables with extremely low capacitance that needs careful positioning for avoiding hum and noise issues.
