    Awesome stuff Gerald! I do love the case on your phono preamp! With the connections on top, makes good sense.

    Photobucket does not allow any third party hosting so your pics are blank
    Can you find another. I use Imgur which is fairly straightforward

    Where did you get the invisible headshell and cartridge from? Must make setting up a nightmare

    Finally got system all set up so the question how does it sound ?
    My old set up sounded really good to me but then when the pre/Phono stage died after speaking to Jason he said he will see what he could do .
    Today finally go a good run of albums playing had to reposition speakers loads of times after finally being happy with balance I have sat down and had a proper listen .
    To my ears what a massive improvement the bass on Nevermind is smashing my internal organs up the treble is pure bliss .
    Image separation and clarity I have never heard before .So not bad for a system that's been built on a tiny budget over the years !
    Roll on the Mono blocks

    One very happy man who can t stop playing lp's at the moment
