Paul, I'm interested in your Linn LP12 set up to the Giscours. Cartridge>step up>Giscours phono section. My LP12SE has a low power cartridge,but not as low as the Giscours mc transformers are looking for. So the MC inputs in the Giscours have way too much gain for my cartridge. I use an Auditorium23 and I also use a Bob's 1131CineMag Blue and connect to the Giscours' mm input. Its just wonderful. No noise, no tube rush, The A23 and Bob's each add a different flavor and energy. With the right signal to the Guiscours, the rest should fall in place nicely... Simple, high quality, Musicality, pleasure off the chartl
Get the Shindo some clean music to play and let it flow through the Tannoys like they were meant to be.
