Project X8? You weren't tempted by a Technics then?

I was Martin,
but the better reviews won out.
The Balanced Thing is a big deal for me too, from experience it really makes a difference?
Fanboying too for my Ghost+ XLR cables, so any opportunity to use them in my system as possible is a real plus.
My pre has XLR inputs as well, why not use 'em!
Low level phono signals seemed the biggest potential sufferer of "noise on the line", so the "Science Bit" makes sense to me.

Set this up tommorow

Comes fitted with an Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge,
Will enjoy it, but the Arm can take some seriously spendy cartridges (according to Michael Fremer's review) so thats one to keep an eye on going forward.
All good.
yes makes sense from a belt and braces pov - there's no reason not to use balanced connection if it's available. I think in ten years or maybe less most new domestic equipment will be balanced or have the option of it.Quote:

In Pro circles, its already there, general populace Spotify users though, not so sure.
Shame,
guess like HDCD and SACD, a good idea that never really caught on mass market?
Makes sense when phono cartridges are already balanced. Of course the whole balanced thing only works if it is end to end. Biggest positive I can determine from balanced is lack of noise entering the chain?
It enters but it cancels itself out.Quote:
