Sounds like everybody had a grand day out which is to the credit of the organisers, excellent choice of TT as a neutral bottom line, pleased to read that nothing 'Undesirable' manifest itself to spoil the day!
Have a good one James, less years to go now
DIGNA: I have found more info on the Digna phono stage, jfi.
It has SUT on the input, followed by the Burson chip providing amplification, followed by 1/2 the valve in grounded grid configuration.
Then the passive EQ followed by a cathode follower using the 2nd 1/2 of the valve.
I think we put a very capable system together providing a really good insight into the phono stages performance.
When something like this is provided I think it is easy to forget that everything in the chain is important. The best supporting equipment will always be necessary to give the insight required, particularly with such top notch stages being compared.
Setting the stage...
