Thanks,,
Finally done just over 500hrs, tks to the granite audio breaking cd works like a charm. Overall I’m very impressed. Played my reference LP Miles Davis, Kind of Blue, flamenco sketches track it just had better dynamics, wider soundstage and imaging was immersive. My turntable sounded more transparent and natural. Now I’m actually sitting on the front table in a jazz club as I imagined. It’s musical and very live sound. Sorry guys I’m not really good at expressing what I hear but this is what I can tell you for now. Avoid matching the PH9 with a really low output voltage cartridge. Minimum of 0.5mv output voltage and higher would be perfect. If you want to go lower then I would suggest the ARC ref phono 3 with adjustable gain.

Equipment use:-
Turntable: Clearaudio Innovation compact
Tone arm: Clearaudio Universal 12”
Cartridge: Clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold
