for the Ultra Eminent BC
Follow-up:
1) Before full breaking in, Ultra Eminent BC may sound harsh and edgy. Mine took around 50-100 hours to stablize and it sounds sweet, smooth, detailed and extended for the rest of its life. It would be a silly mistake to any dumping decision before this critical period.
2) I prefer using SUTs and high quality(accurate), less colored tube phono amp for my Ultra Eminent BC. Their SUTs are very good and perfectly matched.
3) Ultra Eminent BC is the top of the line for the moment.
Hyper Eminent second, followed with Eminent GL & Eminent. They look very similar but don't mix up or you will be misled by their list prices on the second hand market. Do your homework before buying!!!
4) I have tried some pivoted tonearms with Ultra Eminent Bc. I am still very satisfied when accompanied with vintage Wheaton Triplanar & Triplanar VII.
5) VTF applied now is on the low side of the recommended range of 1.9-2.2g.
6) The dealer doesn't recommend using liquid stylus cleanser for regular cleansing.
