by audiogon standards it's mid at best but i just got a pair of AT-540ml cartridges - never had microline carts of my own before. it's a huge step up from the ortofon blues (nude elliptical) i was using as "daily drivers" for most of the last year. early impression is they're nowhere near as good as my nag 200, which is also elliptical shape, but i am very happy with them - they track perfectly and are both more detailed and substantially smoother through the mid and highs than the ortofons. closer in overall sound to the ortofon 2m black.

Wanted a garage system... And can’t stop smiling as I listen to CD’s I haven’t touched in years! @sgreg1 grabbed the Gustard R26 also!... Always wanted to try a R2R DAC (box checked). Also bought my first Schiit gear. Like it more then I thought I would. Been renovating my new house (living at our other home still) and have a new baby, so listening session have been greatly curtailed. So set up a garage system with my LS50 Meta’s that were sitting unused on my new toolbox.
