Wow...no updates since October 2019? Really?? -
Honestly, I have no clue anymore...cheapest thing that I use is probably a Shure M97xe cartridge. Great cartridge! Ok a couple of new updates, for fun. Picked up a couple of Air Tight pieces as I've lusted after this brand... Air Tight ATM-1 Tube Power Amplifier (EL34 based amp, Tamura Output Transformers, Tube Rectified Power Supply) Second piece is an Air Tight ATL-10A Passive Preamplifier. The one I got uses the no longer made ALPS RK501 Volume Pot which was an upgrade option: Check out how the analog pot works....it's a special motorized setup....very interesting design! Both the pieces above are the genius of this man, Atsushi Miura san:

Picked up a pair of Hashimoto HM-7 Step Up transformers. Been trying to get them for a while (a few years), but it worked out this time:

So many many paths to "Nirvana". Honestly, its really not how much you make; its what you do with what you make...as mentioned, anyone can have fancy setups. However, getting it to sound transcendental is a mix of luck, destiny, knowledge, will power and drive. Something like that...you get the point. -
Wow, that 401! Superb @allenh I love it...just heard one last week that was redone by Audio Grail in the UK. It was immaculate. The sound was unbearably good! It was setup in a DAS Audio plinth with an SME 3009R. Such a stunning combination.

The SME 3012 Series II, Early Version I have is a fantastic matchup with the Garrard. But the Micro Seiki is already setup and singing with it, so I'm leaving it there. I picked up a SME 3009R for use with the Garrard in the second arm board. I'll set it up there and get that classic combination going. -
@Tardcore , guilty as charged! If I could spin around on my toilet and make music (wait a sec! Maybe I already do that!!!), I would do it. LOL! I bet if they cut open my heart, there would be bits of vinyl embedded in there somewhere
