Doug,
Thanks for validating my observations. The improvement from break-in is very noticeable and it feels like it is getting better by the 10's of hours now. Like it has passed a hump.
I agree it would have been nice to experiment with SRA. I suspect that we were closer to 0 SRA in your setup. incedentally, the instruction manual does recommend to set it to a positive SRA and that a parallel tonearm does not necessarily achieve this. I found 0 SRA with the arm lower in the back from parallel and a 1.5 SRA is achieved with the arm higher than parallel. As I mentioned, at this point the 47K does not sound very good. In the beginning I wasn't getting much ariness at 100 but was at 47K. Now I get a lot of ariness at 100. As mentioned before, everything else is better too. You should hear the bass now. Pretty amazing. Deep and defined. Not tubby like we heard at your place.
Please come visit next time you're in Atlanta.
