@rfauto The Voice is $3000 and a great buy. I have heard it up against $10,000 MC cartridges and it more than held its own. Turn the volume all the way up with your preamp on Phono without any music playing. What do you hear? Now turn the volume one third of the way down. That is as loud as you will need to go with the Voice before blowing up your speakers. Hear any hiss?
@lewm you are not kidding. I tried the Hyperion on my SUT and it was AWFUL. However, rf has a Manley Chinook, so not a problem. Are you still listening to the Nagaoka? I almost went for one, but on a nostalgic lark I picked up two Shure V15 V MR bodies in excellent condition. I'll try a few Jico styluses and sell one.
