Soundsmith also sounds great the few times I've heard them.
Where's the next weak link in my analog chain?
Currently using the following:
Mofi Ultradeck w/ MasterTracker cart
- Powered by AQ Thunder power cable
Sutherland 20/20 mk1 with LPS (stock power cable)
- Zu Mission mk1 phono from TT to pre, Zu Mission mk1 from pre to amp
I don't have much left that I think I could do on this end before upgrading the table entirely. I'm curious where you would spend your next dollar?
MC Cart
Phono cable
Interconnect
Power cable to phono
Beyond that I think this set up will be pretty well maxed out and it would be time for a new TT to start squeezing out more.

@kennyc thanks, didn't know anything about them. Sadly they do not have a dealer in WA state. Looks like a good cart for the money. Like the idea of much cheaper needle replacements. |
@slaw I have an AQ Hurricane on my amp and my dac. A friend was over and he said to try the hurricane from the DAC on the TT. I initially thought that's a dumb idea but we have it here so why not. I was honestly very surprised by what I heard. I continued to experiment over the next several months and I decided that was going to be a worthwhile upgrade. It made a larger impact than changing IC and speaker cables in some instances. I couldn't wrap my brain around funding a hurricane in that slot, so I decided to hunt down a Tornado first to see how that performed. Luckily I was happy with the results so the tornado is officially in the system. |
