replaced long serving DENON DPL30 mk.2,then hooked into existing NAD PP2 with distinctly underwhelming results ... hmm.. bit the bullet & replaced PP2 w/ PS AUDIO GAIN CELL phono stage... criminy!!!! end results nothing short of staggering...the DYNAUDIO 72's finally burst into life with an analog authority previously completely absent on vinyl reproduction..arm fitted w/ ortofon blue cartridge & driven upstream w/ NAD M3 amp this combo absolutely redefined what i could expect from albums [clash 12 inchers take you there..iris dement breaks your heart, trojan rocksteady rotates your hips, jazz, blues etc,etc...] haven"t played a CD in weeks ......I LOVE THIS TURNTABLE.. simple it may be, but it performs in a no.nonsense gut level manner .the DENON could never approach..[luv the denon's way superior build tho'] THANKS FOR YOUR TIME & ENJOY THE MUSIC.....
