@joey54 apparently Musical Surroundings doesn't recommend an outer limit ring on the Performance DC. They told me there's a big possibility for motor strain. I'll have to look into the AMG. I've been looking into Dr Feickert tables and Kuzma arm's as of the last week as well. I'm possibility holding off on the Performance DC and will be moving above that do DC/Feickert levels.
Clearaudio Ovation Upgrade
I'm currently running a Clearaudio Concept Wood with a Hana ML, which I'm very pleased with. I'm considering upgrading to the Clearaudio Ovation, I'm just not quite sure what to expect. If I do I'll be going with the Tracer tonearm to move up from my current Satisfy.
If I don't move to the Ovation, I'm considering the Performance DC Wood. Would a step up the the Performance DC Wood be wasted? Go full bore into the Ovation and be done? Any guidance is appreciated.

@wturkey I found a great deal on a used Ovation and it was more than worth the cost coming from my concept. The table really is a massive move upwards from the concept too and I probably should have thought more about the cost of ownership. It came with the Universal Tonearm and I think it could be the last tonearm I need. Cartridge alignment is super easy and the platter just spins for days. I tested out the Linear Power Supply from Clearaudio, but I didn't notice it adding enough of anything I was missing so I've got it shelved up in my closet. I even noticed a lovely upgrade adding butcher block acoustic platform underneath. I'm still running my Hana ML, but I'm getting curious about moving up the chain and trying a Benz Micro. We'll see. |
