Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
Perhaps Raoul & Tekunda are cousins...perhaps. 
Isolation Transformer OR Power conditioner
Sean, DeZorel units do not use trannies. Never have. I almost cried when I had to return the loaner. Lak still has one, I think. 
Isolation Transformer OR Power conditioner
I don't trust PS Audio nor any manufacturer that does not publish noise reduction specs. That's something very measurable.I have used DeZorel from Yugoslavia and they make KILLER power filters with guaranteed specs & tolerances. Their download...

any hints on good phono stage inter connects

Tracking issue with dynavector 20XL

Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R.

Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge?
