@zavato Congrats on finding peace and contentment with your system. I do believe this is what we all aim to achieve. I have a friend that took an online class on happiness and this transfers to our life in all aspects. We are a rare breed of fanatics so it is difficult for sure to find this with our systems. I told a friend a year ago I was on a ’5-year plan’ and was done, only to start up again a few months later haha. I had an integrated after a few years of separates and it simply wasn’t enough power so I am back to separates and won’t ever stray again. I am at a point of happiness where I have never been. I have plans of trying different interconnects and may try another cartridge but do sincerely feel happy with my components. Now go buy some of the new MoFi UD1S releases.  I got my Carole King Tapestry in yesterday and it sounds sooooo good :)

@larry5729 I totally get your comment about where the system resides. My system is set up in my front room which fires across the living and into the dining room. It also is facing the staircase. It is pretty darn cool how the music carries throughout both downstairs and upstairs. I recently got my old speakers and components from the attic and set up a 2nd system in my upstairs spare bedroom where the speakers are facing away from the door. I can hear my downstairs system upstairs much better than this one in the bedroom that is upstairs.

@ozzy Sorry, but a gentleman doesn't tell

@sokogear I disagree- I view stylus and cartridges as consumables that are subject to wear and tear and understand that eventually, need replacement. That said, my last cartridge, a Linn Arkiv B, was something I ran not quite 20 years. Maybe 18? Not sure, but doesn't really matter.
