@drrsutliff ,

The Purpleheart had been on my short list for a long time. After I got the Sussurro, I'm very satisfied. If funds ever work out, I'll go Hyperion. Glad you're enjoying it!

The Purpleheart has been the most difficult cartridge to set up I have owned.  The stylus is set under it far enough that you cannot directly visualize it from the front on a protractor.  After I worked by mirror reflection to achieve the Löfgren B DIN alignment it challenged me on setting it SRA.  Now that it’s right (I think) I am rather stunned by the smooth tape like presentation with awesome engagement it is offering.

New set of JJ blue glass KT 88s and mullards settling in my Lumley monos sounds fantastic
