Dear gig,

come on now give credit where it is due!!!!!!!!!

i believe that the moving coil was designed by Mr Grado and i agree with him adding another stage of amplification due to low output is not the way to go.

I by the way much prefer the Decca's and the top Shures over moving coils.

One of the best t/t i have heard ever:

STAD S Jean Francois Le Tallec (french),Debodied Shure V15 111 and a
peculiar english arm of very rare origins.

I have always hated Linn's, in fact sold mine and bought a Sansui SR 222 mk 4 and added a Decca Super Gold fabulous.
IMHO a turntable arm combination should have only one spring and that is the cantilever assembly.I do not like suspended designs.ie linn et all.

Speakers to covet Klipsch 1942!!!!!! origin.
the French GeGo Orthophase of 1959 and the Ernst Spiteri Orthophase of 1970's to late 1980's. truely wonderful.
Quad esl 57 single and preferably stacked pair.incredible.
Maggie's especially the Tympani.

amps quad 22 and 11 power amps. Various RADFORD valve mono blocks.
Mcintosh valve,Marantz valve mono blocks.Luxman valve mono blocks.
Esoteric Audio Research valve mono blocks.

and today SONY SCD 1 and SCD 777 es SACD players .The future is here.

i hope you enjoyed my missives detailed above.
regards david
