I have a Homage T2 for my Charisma Denon 103 and EMT tsd carts. I also have a copper version of the Emia Slagle step up for my low impedance My Sonic lab cartridge. Dave is excellent to work with, and offered me top notch service. Performance wise, it's a sleeper, and well worth seeking out. I can't recall the review, but it was a recent Herb Reichert one. He said his copper wound Slagle was better than the Bob's Sky, which many feel is an excellent value. The Slagle is around $2700, so closer in price to your standard A23 than the Homage. Needless to say, just a satisfied customer. No kickbacks (-:
