I have a hunch that the colorations the L07J may impart are due to the multitude of physical contacts in the signal path and possibly to their choice of Litz wire in the headshell, the tonearm body, and in the IC, plus the "sound" of that DIN plug with its huge contact pins. I will be able to say that more definitively after I bypass the whole shebang. Anyway, I like the net product of the L07D and its tonearm a whole bunch, as I have already stated ad nauseam. If you have not inserted an EMI/RFI shield between the base platter and the platter sheet, you may be missing something. I did it with a piece of TI Shield from M Percy. Makes a difference.
