In reality I'm not sure why I ordered the phono :duh. God knows I can't afford :lol:I had the extra Silver/Oil caps and after hearing the linestage I couldn't resist.
 I just had a Brian Walsh from Essential Audio come over a couple of weeks ago and run( adjust+) this cartridge software program on my Well Tempered Reference table & arm.

 To make a long story short my vinyl has never sounded better after he spent about 4 hours here tweaking the table/arm/cart out. Brian used the Pro version of this software and although expensive to purchase by its lonesome, for $100 he will travel and bring your table up to its optimum. I took advantage of this deal and I can say it is the best $100 ever spent in audio. With all this having been done and the new linestage arrived a couple days before I caught the fever. :roll: Tom told me I needed his phono so in the state of delirium I pulled the trigger and bit the bullet. I'm not looking back now!

 It is hard to put a price on State Of The Art musical performance but I did with Tom's linestage and with him proclaiming his phono is untouchable, I believe him as his wealth of experience and knowledge is trustworthy in the reproduction of music.
