RE: it's not just about the cartridge

Posted by John Elison on December 31, 2016 at 05:20:28:
There is no way of knowing what I would prefer because the two phono stages were in different systems and I never heard the same LP played on both. The only constant was the cartridge. They both sounded exceptional to me. I would have to hear both preamps in my own system to determine which sounded better. I do like the AT-ART7 cartridge, though. It is my current reference and I use a Pass Labs XOno phono stage.

Best regards,
John Elison
