Best Audio is an Ebay store. Also makes repro parts for Duals and other TTs.
Also, I've got AT VM540ML carts in the Rega Planar 6 and the AR XA. Playing the same track through both, using the same phono stage, the differences between the two decks are astonishingly small. The Rega might have a bit more detail, but that could be due to condition of the stylus (both styli are closing in on 400 hours) or the VTA not being the same from one deck to the other.
I used headphones for the comparison and the difference are so small, they probably wouldn't be audible through speakers.
The AR is running a bit faster than the Rega as well.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
