The Mighty Puffin

i have heard a Puffin at Gig Harbor Audio, Eric the owner has a good ear for gear and was an early adopter. i was impressed. BTW Eric has a heart of gold and action to match, see a bit in Stereophile on him and others good deeds...

@fuzztone the "brand new" stylus is a Jico SAS (boron) in my Shure V15 Type IV. It's a great value, certainly not in the league of some of my other carts, but hard to beat for the approx. $400 I paid for it and the Shure V15 with a broken stylus. 

I moved my Puffin into my main system tonight until my new phono stage arrives. It doesn't quite have the body and heft of my Manley Chinook, but it's doing a respectable job and not doing anything "wrong".
