Finally yes. For the price of the rebuilt I could not have a better cart (as far as I know but don't know them all).
In the absolute I think maybe a Myiajima could be a better choice for the kind of music I mainly listen.
As I have tube amps and pre I can tune the sound with different nos tubes and good associations. Every tube is important in that game. We mainly think about the 12ax or 12 au, but a 6x4 and EF86, or 12bh7 (the ones that I have in my pre) have a big part in final resolution.
It takes time to refine associations but it is funny also as you can "cook" the final sound.
In the amps I have EL34 Mullards xf2 oo and in the pre part of the amps 2 Ecc83 Valvo I60 and 2 Ecc82 Valvo with dimple getter. They are written Ecc802s but they are not. The partnership between them is great.
In the pre I have 3 Ecc803s Telefunken, 2 E188cc or Cca Siemens, a Cifte WAH 6x4' Sylvania 12bh7A and a Ef86 Valvo.
Recently I tried to replace the Ecc803 with Valvo I60 but t rounded a bit too much.
I have to say I am not always interverting tubes. In this moment I do it often but I previously kept years with the same configuration.
Did I say I like tubes, their sound, their look their boxes, the fact that when one is used you put another one and the amp sound as new anew ?
Well I'm getting out of the question a bit it seems
