    I'm very happy with the sound I get from my system. Great synergy with my Quad floorstanding speakers.

  9. Primary setup at the moment: Linn Sondek LP12 w/standard "basik" power supply, bonded pre-Cirkus subchassis, repaired Akito II arm, Ortofon Super OM cartridge w/ Stylus 40 (FG70 stylus version). To me, this combination sounds "just right", though I've seriously considered purchasing a Cetech subchassis for it.

    Secondary turntables: various LP12 setups (Cetech, stock or modded pre-Cirkus, semi-Cirkus, etc), equipped with either modded rewired Ittok LVII arm, rebuilt rewired Akito MK1 arm, or Rega RB300. I'm experimenting with those setups to see if I can create another combination that seems "just right". Also, an ELAC Miracord 50H-II w/ Shure M97 Era IV and N978E stylus for 78 playback.
