I know that source must go first, but I can spend a lot of money on a preamp /phono preamp/ amp and speakers. Anyway, when I hear the sound of the Denon 103 modified by ESC and the Rega Exact cart, I know that I WILL NEVER BUY A HIGH END CART ! I just don't get the point....Unless I win at the lottery.....

If David wants, I'll stop by with my setup tools and go over the setup more carefully to see if we can squeeze even more performance out of his analog rig.


It is always a pleasure getting together with Serge and other AA friends. Lets not let another year go by before we get together.

My first one was $900, but I remember seeing it for $850.

I just got a new (to me) Shelter 501 MKII this past weekend. I think I need some shorter mounting screws I prefer carts with built in threads so I don't have much on hand for carts like this - it did the trick, though After an hour or so of getting it dialed in, I'm very impressed with what I'm hearing!
