    I have used the MLX before and it’s a very good cart. Detailed yet smooth. The MC202 is very special indeed and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

    So glad I switched back to the YA 39 as it allowed me to pair it with the ML170 and use the GT2000 far more than I have in the past year. Although the YSA 2 is a phenomenal arm, I have struggled to find a true standout synergy with any of the carts in my collection. Because of this I have been...

    @808_state I have an 9gr ortofon headshell, nothing fancy but it’s doing the job well. Yes, that guys amplification and speakers certainly get the best out of the GT 2000. It sounds phenomenal.

    This video motivated me to switch out the YSA 2 and put the YA 39 back on and reinstall my Audio Technica AT-ML170 moving magnet cart. It’s a very good tonearm :)

    Most Attractive Turntable?

    This may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it would be my end game turntable. The Kronos Sparta. If you’re very lucky you could pick a used one up for $12,000 without tonearm.

    I use one and found improvements in micro detail resolution. Imaging was also improved slightly. I recommend trying one and if you don't like it I'm sure you will be able sell very easily at almost the same price as you bought it for.
