The Gingko arrived today. Here it is in its box. I don't know if I'll get a chance to set it up, as this means reconfiguring both the rack and my C2300 also, and I may not have time to do that before heading out for the holidays on Monday. Perhaps it will help stability of the Euro rack to shorten it some; I can do that by making the middle shelf a 5-incher; that will take 3" off the height. I will then be going over to the preamp's phonostage, which means re-tubing the MM section and removing my Aragon 47k from the setup. Then, of course, setting up the Gingko and putting my VPI on top of it and seeing how things go.
My best chance to do all that anytime soon is probably Sunday, but at some point I'd need to begin prep for the next day's flight out. So, all this audio stuff may well wait until I get back from down south.
