Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State


As title suggests, I am currently using a MC Cart - Etsuro Bordeaux and planning on adding an SUT. The TT is Garrard 301 with Reed 3P tonearm.

SUT under consideration,

1) Etsuro ET-U50

2) Swissonor PPP-PP Hashimoto HM7

3) EMIA Copper or Silver version

On top of my list is Leben RS-30EQ and Accuphase C-47.

Also planning on adding 2nd Reed tonearm with Miyajima Labs Zero or Infinity Cart. From a purist perspective, what would be your recommendation to get the best out of a mono cart.

Thank you!

Another Product was referenced, with a cleverly worded description of a design intent, which is undoubtedly Market Spiel, as the Preface to bringing inro the writing and mentioning the Product the Author has a Vested Interest In.

I’m relaxed.

How abouts, I am involved in the supplying of a New Phonostage that is coming to the Market. This New Model Supersedes an earlier Model which I also had a Vested Interest In.

I very much doubt I'll be getting a Thank You Pindac 

I am open to inquiries, please contact me for further information.

Certainly much more too the point than looking for the opportunities to slip in through the Back Door, to keep finding ways of announcing the Model being referred to,

 

What would anyone here thank you for, Pindac? In most cases, you reveal nothing about whatever it is you are praising, as above, and by revealing no names or details of the product, no one here can benefit from either knowledge of it or the purchase of it. Perhaps the audiophiles in your immediate circle in the UK do benefit and would have reason to thank you for bringing a phono stage, a tonearm, a cartridge, a speaker, or whatever it may be, to their attention. I do see that you invited inquiries. OK. I am hereby inquiring. Please tell me more about the new phono stage. If there are proprietary secrets, just tell me, and others, as much as you can without violating any confidentiality agreement.

Nothing New is such a reply, the same has been met in the past. 

I see no reason to change my answer. 

Individuals who's designs I reference know my Forum Names and Forums I use. 

Occasionally I am corrected on a content I have posted

I don't remember ever claiming to be EE orientated. 

Individuals who's designs I reference don't piggy back on posts made by myself. Who best to divulge the IP but themselves. 

More importantly by their silence I am not part of a Covert Advertisement Strategy or hoaxed into a Product Shill. 

I stand proud knowing that. 

Funny how the regular references to the Essential 3160 and very speedily follow up references to the Essential 3180 appear in Threads with quite a few hits on the Thread itself.

Strategic Product Placement comes to mind with the help of a friend or two. 

 

“Strategic Product Placement comes to mind with the help of a friend or two.”@pindac 

I couldn’t agree with you more, it certainly appears that way! 

There has been speculation in the past on this forum about the individual doing Covert Placement of products they have a Vested Interest In.

I find it very easy to discover within the 'Gon' Product Plugs from the suspected Head of the Sales Team, especially making claims on a selection of occasions the device is comparable to $60K designs.

I also find it quite easy to discover the few who come forward to underpin the shameless promotion, by encouraging the dialogue to expand into further marketing spiel being spewed.

Similar claims are also able to be discovered, where claims made for a Tonearm Design are slipped in as a Covert Placement. Where the spew on these occasions are the claim, the comparative Tonearm to the Model is a model costing $55K. 

As stated for myself " I am not part of a Covert Advertisement Strategy or hoaxed into a Product Shill ". 

"I stand proud knowing that".
