My first impression of the DS Audio DS E1 cartridge and equalizer is quite favorable. This is their entry level system and sounds like it will stay with me forever. When compared to my Lumin U1 streamer I can hear a more enveloping sound. I never had a top shelf M/M or M/C cartridge & phono preamp but have listened to many. The DS Audio setup is in a league of its own. Try it you’ll like it.
