Glenn, looking at a Sutherland Insight phono pre. Are you at all familiar with them?

Thanks Steve,
How's your Scout sound? I had my eye on a used Scoutmaster, but I should have had my money on it also, because it didn't last long.

I see you're using the Musical Fidelity XCan V3 with your Senns., like me. Good choice.

Mr Jack, that is a nice looking table!! I've been contemplating the 9.3 or something different, but for the money the MH tables do return an amazing sonic value.
I already upgraded my 7.1 with the 9cc tonearm, so if I get a 9.3 I'd like it with the EVO arm......
The walnut would match my speakers.....hmmm, dang it!

No 1st-hand knowledge, but Sutherland has a solid rep.

We should be having our first 'coolish weather' SE PA get together in another month, or so. I'll bring along my F-117 for a listen when we do, if that would interest you.

Always interested in hearing new gear. It's garnering knowledge and that's not a bad thing. The F-117 was on my short list and it could wind up there again.

Thanks for asking! I sold the Scout a few years ago and replaced it with a TTW GEM II Copper. What a step up! Of course, it should have been, considering the price difference!

You should change your equipment list to reflect the change. I'm not familiar with the TTW brand, but I'll do some research.

Ttw is closed now. Larry Denham retired after selling his Machine shop.
He made turntables while not machining Aerospace components.
Really nice tables after he fixed a few bugs.
