Dear Nandric: clairvoyant?, certainly not only experienced about as exist some other persons with even and better audio personal qualities that mines.
From your main system I know very well: TT/Triplanar/Ruby 3 and the Reed. I know too your electronics and better yet your phono stage design ( I don't know if was the 2010. )and your good speakers, so I have a tiny idea about.
I don't want to go deeper on your system subject because that could be useles. Btw, I saw your ad on the Virtuoso: do you already sold it?, good luck.
++++ " on quess work about
my or Henry's 'system'. " ++++
no it is not a guess, all what I know about system components on several audio systems are complemented with what the people posted through several and different threads, normally I never speak if I don't have the " hair in my hands ".
Let me put one example now that you name it Halcro:
he sold it his 20SS and TK10ML cartridges, both top of the line models.
Till today, including me, I never read or saw any single " sign " for no single person everywhere where the owner of those cartridges was unsatisfied with its high quality performance levels.
Halcro does not like it neither so other that both cartridges were faulty what that could means: that Halcro is right ( both cartridges are inferior performers. ) and all several owners ( hundreds. ) are wrong?.
Could be but I seriously doubt about.
I know that when some body " touch " our each one beloved audio system we react against that " touch " but this is not my target with any one of you and never is with any one through the net. I try to help and try that we can understand today or in 5 years from now what in reality we are talking about and the importance to have or to improve the system resolution and that's all.
Stay calm, no bad feelings. An apolize to you and Halcro if both could think I want to hurt both of you because it is not that way.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
