This table/cart combo has the deepest noise floor I've ever listened to. The detail is incredible. I have been spinning almost non stop since getting it setup. It's like listening to all new lp's. I spent some additional time today adjusting azimuth and tracking force. I think it's setup where I like it now. The audio is so pure and clean it almost has a digital quality. I could not be happier for the moment.

Yes I upgraded to a Goldfinger Statement with a GFV2 trade-in, DaVinci proceeds & some. I have it now but yet to mount it. Must get to it as I'm starting to miss vinyl. DaVinci is the best performance to value at the CA reference level & could well be one of the top ten carts of all time IMO. You have a fantastic system.

I've literally discovered the real sound of vinyl a month ago and now I'm addicted. |

My opinion is that LP has always been better but very little people expoited it to its full potential. I think that you need an above average table to get the best of vinyl and that could mean serious money quite quickly* plus you have to take care of the cart and the vinyl (it's almost a ritual) whereas with CDs (or MP3, download, ...) you know that you can expect a good quality even on a cheap setup which is what 90% of the people have. You lose some dynamics and get compression but you win on convenience and price. Only audiophile would go through this to get the extra little quality *Though entry level Rega and Pro-ject can already help you getting there |
