Would be nice to have the 450 Statement monos. Doesn't get better than that...I'd settle for a 450S or even just one more 300.1a.
Dev, I put in some back up Russian (new) tubes that were sent to me by Keith Herron for my VTPH-2 phono preamp, which is utterly silent and amazing as a phono preamp. Makes me wonder how great his VTSP-3a preamp must be.
System is:
- Clearaudio Innovation Wood turntable with Graham Phantom Supreme tonearm and Benz LP-S cartridge to Herron via Tara Labs Zero GX phono cable. Second arm = Schick 12" with Miyajima Premium BE mono cartridge
- Second table is Atma Sphere 208 (modified Empire) table with Triplanar VII ii arm and Soundsmith Ebony Voice cartridge (into VAC phono section MM)
- Modwright 5400es sacd/cd player
- PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge
- Audience AR12 conditioner and power chords "e"
- mix of Harmonic Technology, Silkworm+ and Cardas GR cables
- Just replaced Esoteric MG20 speakers with Magnepan 3.7s
- Velodyne DD15+ subwoofer
- various isolation devices (e.g., Symposium ultra platforms)
