.........failed to mention that the Puritan replaced an Akiko Audio triple AC enhancer as well.
Warming up with Damien Rice "O", the last lp I listened to on Sunday. The cartridge always takes around 30 minutes to start sounding good. Right off the bat, I hear many improvements though. Acoustic guitar..... the plucked strings have increased resonance and clarity. Bass is more impactful and deeper. On one song there’s crowd noise in the background, like a gathering in another room.....it is more easily heard. Lisa Hannigan’s vocals are more easily heard and more meaningful.
Using the 2m/15 gauge Puritan PC that came with the 156.
