Yes, it really does! Very streamlines, just the bare essentials.
And, boy! does it sounds good with that DL103R. It reminds me of my long deceased Lyra Clavis.
It digs huge amount of detail in the groove.
The Croft Phonostage sounds absolutely gorgeous on old Decca pressings, lush!
As for the T10 Stepup, not sure which setting I prefer, High or Low... it kind of depends of the recording.
But, overall, what a piece of kit. And it was surprisingly easy to fit and adjust. The sliding base makes it really a doddle to install on the Avid.
Now a few hours of listening with the cats!
