Cables have since been upgraded to Clarus Crimson Bi-wire speaker and interconnects. Very expensive but worth it. The junky Monster Cable shown in the pics is gone.

Looks like you have the Dynavector / VPI cartridge on your Aries ?

It was just changed to a Phono Cartridge XX-2A from Dynavector. It's a low output unit which is much better than the original 20X high output cartridge I had to begin with. This pic has the original cartridge which has since been upgraded.

The 2a is a newer model. 3 years ago, the a model didn’r exist. The old model was just xx2. The newer model sounds warmer and more balanced. It’s very good. Records are a pain anyway. I prefer my SACD player or naim streamer in that order. I still think a good SACD outperforms other formats including vinyl. Its certainly better than streaming.
