Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?


There is likely nothing wrong at all with present phono stage but you know how it is.

Present analog front end consists of.

Nottingham Analog Spacedeck with Spacearm.
Shelter 501 mk3 cartridge with maybe 250 hours on it, regularly treated with Lyra.
Dynavector P75 mk3 phono stage.
Feeds into Lyngdorf 2170 via Nordost Red Dawn RCA cables.

My thoughts were that possibly the Dynavector is the weakest link and would pay most dividend on an upgrade but.....

What do I perceive I am lacking right now?
Really hard to say as this is highest quality analog front end ever owned.
Possibly lacking a little in sheer scale and dynamics? Bass is very very good, instruments are well separated and defined.
Just as an overall presentation I feel it lacks that final wow factor as a whole.
Not sure if that makes any sense?
Please comment honestly especially if you feel it is another area that may reap larger benefits. Or if should just leave well alone....lol.

Oh btw I am fairly sure it is setup correctly in regards to vta etc, at least to the best of my abilities right now. And yes setting it up correctly from initial purchase did make considerable gains in sq.

May I ask where you purchased your PH-10 from?
Not many people are selling them at least in this country (USA) that I can find so far.
Uberwaltz,

I purchased mine from canuckaudio mart. I really wanted one in red, and found a lightly used unit there.

Try out
https://www.toskaaudio.com/ out of Illinois. They have them listed her on Agon too.
That was only dealer I could find too.
I am waiting for them to reply with an all in shipped price.
Well stumped up and bought a Gold Note PH-10 this morning
Now the wait for it to arrive...lol
Uberwaltz,

Congratulations!  What color did you go with?

My PH-10 had approx 10hrs of use when purchased, and it sounded great right off the bat.  Once I hit the 30hr mark it really started to shine.  No changes I could hear after that, now at approx 200hrs.

Quick break in time, if you believe in that sort of thing...
