Guys,
The Benz is only a few hours and from what I'm hearing I can describe it as very layback sound , non fatiguing , leave your sleepers on you are not going anywhere.

Very happy :)

Great description. It is the most non fatiguing cartridge I have ever heard. Smooth as a baby's bottom.
 
Do you think it will improve the sound more after break in , because I think I can't handle more , :D

It does improve with break in. I probably have 50-60 hours on mine. It opens up and becomes a bit more dynamic and most recently the sound stage got bigger but I think that had to do with an expert aligning it on my AMG. Also - it can sound thin unless the tracking foxes is at least 1.9 grams or so.
 
Cool,
After I reached the 40 hours Mark I will re-check everything including tracking force

Thanks
 
Listening to AMG V12 and Benz LP-S right now (Michael Hedges "Double Planet"). What is amazing is I have it the LP-S running straight into the air tight ate-1 phono stage that is made for atc-2 preamp. I have never heard my LP-S sound better. Straight into MM phono stage - plenty of gain. Same volume when running thru ARC Ref 2se on MC input. No loading so I assume it is running at 47k. It sounds sweet and dynamic and extended bass and treble. Go figure.

Darrin - that is interesting. Glad it's working so well. Glad you're enjoying your new Air Tight preamp.

Thanks. This is the air tight i have had awhile. Will post pictures of the air tight ate-2001 reference which is preamp and phono.
 
Was able, with my children's help, to install the custom V12 HRS base for my table. Now I am resting.

By the way, HRS shipped this to me in a bullet proof fashion. Wish they would teach other companies how to pack new components.
 
Please let us know how things progress with the dedicated HRS-platform for the AMG V12. I will add AMG to our portfolio shortly, where I'm evaluating the HRS-option as an possible addition.

Thanks. / Marcus
 
First thing I noticed is it took all nervousness of the sound away. At first I thought it made it less lively, but as I listened more the foundation of the music was much more anchored and fixed in space

Interesting, I've never heard the sound of the AMG described as being or having a "nervousness" character to it. I'm not doubting your observations, as I have never had the opportunity to even hear the AMG for myself yet.....just finding the comment as being interesting.

Have you noticed if any one of your three fantastic tables needing some sort of "platform" more so than the others as far as keeping the stylus steady in the groove, or for helping with the final sound of the analog rig?

The hrs packing plus wooden shipping crates are excellent though heavy! Noticed you are using the hrs ontop of a symposium platform. Have you tried it with just the hrs?

Haven't tried it just by itself. I find Stillpoints and HRS to have same effect on all my tables. More anchored. Less distortion (jumpy nervousness in mid band and treble).
