Just been listening to the P75 again, using the Joan Armatrading *Me Myself I album as the music. Hell's fookin' bells!! The 75 (which is still a cracking little phonostage, no excuses needed) sounds pinched, narrow, bright and synthetic compared to the Phono2.
*I'd not listened to this for years - forgotten how bloody good it was. Analogue-recorded drums & bass at its best - dynamics that make your hair curl (if I had any).![]()
