Dave, it was really a question of circumstance that allowed me to hear the GCPH in action and subsequently order the Underwood modded version. I did look at the A.N.T. brochures you gave me and my interest was piqued but I never got around to talking to you further about it.

To answer your question, and knowing that you dislike it, the GCPH makes fine music with both my DL-160 and the AT33PTG currently in use. I have never heard better LP replay in my system, and that is what counts.

HOWEVER, I would like to give the appropriate A.N.T. model a try as it represents an unexplored avenue and I'm happy to move equipment on to fund new components. Would a loan be on the cards?
