Thanks to Jeff at AV Solutions for the time and effort on helping me with setup and for steering me to toward the Phono Stage. I took it out of the system yesterday looking to solve a ground loop issue that is coming in on my cable line. The Fosgate signature makes the setup work in terms of sonics.
JD...just wanted to see how the Fosgate phono is coming along with your new Sota table. I know it's hard to describe the sonics of the phono separate from the rest of the system since you don't have another phono you can sub-in to compare it to the Fosgate phono, but I was just curious how you would describe the overall sound you are getting from the vinyl playback system at this point. Thx and hope you are enjoying your new phono adventures.

I am looking at either the SME 309 if funds allow, or Jelco 750D as an alternative. We'll see after tax time.

Thanks guys...the Concept is a lot better than I thought it would be and has been a blast to break in. Next week we'll be putting a Dynavector 10x5 on it and see how it sings.
