I'd love to get back there soon.  And hear that cartridge...my Allaerts has the speed of the Atlas, better tone and textures, and imaging...but misses the resolution and some of the dynamics.  So y...

Hi, the dCS is very good. I still love my vinyl, I had two cartridges so I thought I'd sell one and use the other for a while. (Allaerts MC2 Finish). It has a different perspective vs the Atlas.

System edited: Swapped 2 Anaconda Zitrons out for 2 Sigma Analogs and swapped the Triton for a Triton v2. Nice changes...the Shunyata updates are always easy to hear and a nice improvement

Hey Lenny, any time over the next week is good (today and Sun won't work). Late mornings maybe best before the A/C units crank up. Besides then the pavement will warm up our tires faster for a driv...
