RE: My New Toys

I am glad you have arrived at something that satisfies you. I'm curious how you arrived at the cartridge and SUT combo that you did. I looked at your setup and suspect you could have aimed at a higher range cartridge and had been able to exploit it. I am in no way suggesting the Denon has any lacking features, in fact it is highly rated. I am also in the camp that says don't spend more if you don't have to. Did you look into other cartridges or have you been in the Denon camp for awhile and not seen any reason to reach higher?

I use a Clearaudio Virtuoso MM cartridge and have been thinking about going to MC with a SUT. Your post has got me thinking about what to consider and just how high to aim.
