Aah, Msieur Satie ...

You listen to vinyl? With an LP12? :-))

Now you said: "the fuller (to the point of bloating) sound of the LP12".

Sorry, my LP12 with Graham 2.2 arm and Benx LP cartidge is nowhere near "bloated". But it does not have the stock subchassis. I installed a Cetech about 6 years ago (with a CF-composite armboard that I had made up) and I assure you, there is no "bloat"!! :-)) And I have had quite a few people who have come round to listen (basically because a) they have never heard Maggies or b) they have never heard an LP12) and have had comments like "That's one of the best vinyl systems I have ever heard".

And BTW, my cartridge is a LOMC - the 0.28mV Benz Ebony LP (the first LP). Which I am currently using at 47K loading. I also have a Grado Platimum Reference MM but that is my #2 cartridge.

Please tell me more about cermet vs. PEC carbon pots. Are these PCB pots? Or chassis-mount pots? Why I ask is that I have used Bourne, multi-turn PCB pots for the output buffers in my active XOs and if I can find better PCB pots for the ribbon output then I will use them! :-))

Regards,

Andy
