That's a no brainer which makes a significant improvement at a nominal cost. Such a value in high end audio is very rare!

Very nice, congratulations!

What do you think of the SUT and what change it brought to the sound?

How do you like the A95? What did you start with? I have the new Avenger that will be set up and am working through some cartridge options.
