Just Bought My First Phono Stage

[Stratmangler]

Not as yet Chris , I'm getting there, just another day or so with the pearl lite , then with the Diablo , no idea what to expect but it should be a big leap surely ? The T10 is an exceptionally good SUT !! It's a keeper no question about it.

Big leap?
Maybe.
You might find that the Pearl Lite/SUT performs in a manner more to your liking.
You could also find find that the Diablo/SUT sound more convincing than just the gain stages in the Diablo, and bests the Pearl Lite/SUT pairing too.
The only way to find out is to give things a whirl, and it sounds to me as though you've already found a good place

Yes I'm delighted with the T10, a big thankyou to Guy Sargeant for his advice and help.
