RE: Significant upgrade to my Linn LP12?

Your recording sounds very nice. What piece is it? I'm obviously not well versed in classical music but I do like string ensembles.

What cartridge load are you using? It sounded a bit bright, but certainly not at all harsh. I found I had to load my DL-S1 very heavily to achieve a more natural sound quality. My Pass Labs XOno phono stage has 75-dB gain so I can load my DL-S1 with 20-ohms and still have enough output left for a reasonable volume level. Yours sounds very smooth, just a bit bright.

I also noticed the recording had a lot of headroom still available. What record-level setting did you use on the DA-3000? I have mine set to +8-dB for my DL-S1 through the XOno.

Thanks for the opportunity to hear your turntable. I'd be happy to send you my DA-3000 recording, but I don't know how. Perhaps you can send email and explain the process.

Happy Holidays,
John Elison
