The best thing is to listen for yourself. You should contact the Cable Company regarding their lending program.

I have heard the Lehman phono stages and they are all good, improving as the price goes up, which is the usual way of things.

At a slightly higher price you can buy a Sugden pa-4 phono stage,...

Garrard 301/401 in Woodsong plinth

Another Crosley record wrecker variation brought to us by another guy with no capital courtesy of Kickstarter. Now that records are cool again there seems to be no end to these things.

Shindo speakers would be best. If not Auditorium 23. If Devore I would use the O96 with your amp due to the higher efficiency. As others suggested do not use your amp with the Marten speakers.

If you have not had an idler drive you should consider a Garrard or Lenco. I have a SME and a Garrard. Very happy with the Garrard.

You should consider the new SME 15

Francesco,

Great to hear your thoughts on your new EMT JSD S75. I don't think mine is fully broken in yet, but we will see. My experience was that there were some improvements in the 25 hour...

Thanks for the prompt response. I was using my Calypso Signature single ended and unhappy with the noise floor. After switching to balanced cables and RCA NOS tubes I am completely happy with the...

Just curious as to whether you were using balanced interconnects between the amp and preamp or single ended. Thanks.

Great to hear from another fan.

Francesco,

Let me know what you think when you get your EMT S75. Thanks.

I reread my comments above and they were not very clear so let me restate my comments for you more clearly.

I listened to both the TSD-15 SFL and the TSD 15 SPH (spherical stylus) in my system....

fclombardo, You have a very nice system and analog setup.

I listened to both the TSD-15 SFL and the TSD 15 with the conical stylus. I think the differences in sound are that it has most the...

Below are photos of my EMT JSD S75. I hope other EMT fans enjoy. The cartridge with only 7 hours on it sounds great, but is not broken in yet.

I just added this. The EMT JSD S75MC cartridge is the latest addition to EMT‘s line.Diamond stylus on white Sapphire cantilever.

My picks for sleeper cartridges are:

The EMT line of cartridges. Great performance and value.

Shindo - Difficult to find, and only comes mounted in a Bakelite Ortofon A headshell, but worth the...

Congrats on a great looking system, and welcome.

Mike, I have always wanted to try them also. I can now say they really make an easily audible positive difference. I was skeptical about all of this until I put a set of Sort Kones under a phono...

I installed these yesterday under my Proac Response D40r speakers. I have only played a few records so far.Noticeable changes on first listen were a reduction in "grunge" overall. There were songs I...

If you get a deal on Pro-ject I would consider buying the Xtension 12 with the optional Ortofon tonearm. That is an excellent tonearm, and the tonearm contribution to the sound is usually...

I agree with you. I just had my Rhea upgraded to Signature and it was very significant. Blacker background, more space between singers and instruments, and more fine detail (without brightness)

From the Aesthtix website:
The Calypso / Janus is a high gain linestage. Audio systems with efficient speakers and / or sensitiveamplifiers may require less gain. One indication would be a low...

If the gain on the Calypso is too high you can reduce by moving some internal jumpers. Call or e-mail Aesthetix for specific instructions.
