Based on a discussion with My dealer and reading that the ST80 was built for the A95.

I saw quote on Facebook today.."you don't really own the album until you have it vinyl" I pretty much only buy vinyl and stream digital on tidal.

I can tell you this, I had to pull the ST-80 SE out of my system temporarily and go back to the MC input on my C2500. Almost lifeless now to my ears. Can't wait to get it back in the system!

I had to have a custom shelf made for my HRS stand. And I upgraded to the reference table so now I'm having to dig a little deeper. I am hoping this is "a one and done " proposition. I should have everything squared away next week New HRS double shelf New cart (thinking A95) Either a phono preamp or SUT Avenger reference 2 P10's Dust cover Cables. Now I am going to need to have a pro come help set it up. So, I don't think it'll all be ready for a bit yet. But when it is, I have warm fuzzies.

I am not a fan of VPI arms (even though I have one) because the cable goes through a Lemo connector, then RCAs out. That's too many connectors, when you consider the signal levels, especially with LOMCs. That's when replacing the terminal block on the VPI with a Bob's Devices terminal block makes sense, but it's not cheap!
I'm in the process of building a SUT using a couple of Beyerdynamic microphone transformers I got off eBay for $100 (keeping everything cheap), and using captive cords soldered at the SUT rather than yet another set of RCAs. All mounted in a small metal box I got from eBay for $20. If it works, great; if not, I'm not out a lot of money. The Beyers got good reviews on a couple of forums, so I'm hopeful. I'm using a Koetsu Rosewood, and the SUT will be feeding an ARC SP9 Mk II. |
