RE: A waste of money...

A good friend had a ZYX airy that I listened to quite a bit. He had it mounted on a VPI superscoutmaster running into a bunch of very nice VAC electronics, sonus faber speakers and cardas cabling. His system was excellent and satisfying but to my ears not as detailed, dynamic, or balanced as mine. However, when we start talking about >several thousand dollar cartridges, we are veering OT.

I do think we all agree that what we are seeking is a system that we find satisfactory for ourselves. I essentially arrived there several years back although I have made a couple tweaks in the last 1.5 years of so since I moved into a new home. My own several decade search took me well past < a thousand dollar cartridges and the search continued until I found the current ebony lps.

I also have a system upstairs. My analog front end is my rega planar 3 with dynavector 10x5 into a sim 310lp. Its pleasant but nothing like the main system.
