Love itGood afternoon all. Wow, the morning really got away from me! Spent a lot of time tweaking the fan settings for the new PC fans/heatsink... then I decided to go ahead and prepare the 1959 Magnavox Setup and TV entertainment center for when the Yamaha YP-B2 comes back. I mounted the soul speak line level/amp switcher on the left (amplifier/control) cabinet inside, as well as mounting the WiiM Pro nicely and running the digital optical out from the TV a little more neatly. I also ran the external phono stage RCAs through the back of the cabinet, and into the SoulSpeak as well, so all that needs to be done is plug the turntable power and RCAs to the external stage when the TT is fixed.
I tried to hook up my Schiit Magni headphone amp, but the damn thing wont power on. Think the power brick crapped out. Oh well. Eventually, I'll get a headphone amp out here so that I'll have full capabilities on both this setup and the 1980s setup!
I'm thinking I might experiment and do an A/B sound comparison this afternoon....

It’s a fixed stylus Ala Denon and a bunch of others. A Pro has to re-tip it
I was enjoying the blissfull sounds of Andreas Vollenweider when my cartridge bounced about a half inch in the air!!! I looked over to see what was happening and bam! The cartridge goes flying a half inch in the air again and comes crashing down for a second, and a third, 4th time ! By now I'm outta my chair and stand up to look at the record surface, and 2 bloody LADYBUGS are on my record as the cartridge runs over them and goes flying!!! Those little bastards won't bug me again! 
Welp, the excursion to look over the Rega P9 turntable, was a bust, both a tonearm (?) issue and a motor (speed control) issue, so at this point the existing units, will continue to exist.
Now you can enjoy some tunesSpinnin on the Rega now- Everything You Always Wanted To Hear On The Moog...
Wow! You can hear right into the music, and pick out individual instruments with ease! Happy camper here! And the Cardas rewire is much better than the stock wire! And the Cardas cartridge clips are so much better than all the other shiit clips on other arms... a joy to use...
lol. That’s pretty funny until I realized the repercussions. But stillI was enjoying the blissfull sounds of Andreas Vollenweider when my cartridge bounced about a half inch in the air!!!

When buying fragile electronics off Amazon I always buy the "protection package"... That got me the money back on my failing new TV, 100% of it, and several weeks later started working properly and has ever since! Major score there... so if I wing my new cartridge off the wall, it's covered... lol
Being asked to verify myself every 15 effen minutes, max!!! WTF???I use Firefox upstairs, Chrome downstairs, at work and on my phone- I get the same problems on each...

Good afternoon AK! Did mostly sleep this morning. Ordered in breakfast and doing the same with groceries; the wife and I are both pooped.
Yep, the Signet is Audio Technica advanced line, I owned a TK7e along time ago . They are hand built and come with its own individual spec sheet. It was a NICE cart!
Also, still getting bot checked every time (feature not a bug?). Also performance issues still occurring. If they don’t dump cloudflare maybe they can tune it.
Sigh.
Have a good day folks.
