Using a Trigon Vanguard with the Dorian.. and...

24.3.123.76

The Dorian/Vanguard does seem to lack a little warmth overall compared to the BP No. 2/Sumiko Phono Box II I was using for. The Dorian/Vanguard definitely sounds cleaner, more refined, more accurate, but overall it is a bit less emotionally involving, at least to me. I know the new gear is in a whole different league in terms of quality, but this is just what I am finding.

For example- with the Blue Point No.2/Phono Box II pretty much everything sounded warm and nice. Adding the Vanguard to the BP2 made it sound even better. The Vanguard/Dorian is SO accurate I may prefer something less accurate! For example... I played "It was a Very Good Year" by Frank Sinatra. The recording is a bit warm and I have to tell you, the Dorian/Vanguard simply blew me away with the sound AND emotional involvement. Then I played some Bryan Adams from "Cuts Like a Knife". Sounds great but my foot didn't get tapping.

Any comments, will break-in help?
