    Phono cables with SUT

    I never experienced a difference between, connecting tonearm ground to sut or turntable or anyother grounding. If you experience hum, most probably you should have to change sut to phono stage rca. I highly recommend Ansuz cables, they are clear winner between many(nordost odin, transparent...

    Clearaudio Master Innovation UP and running.

    I used both master reference and master innovation, also tt2 tonearm on both. Very good turntables. Forget about the clamp, it is useless, i tried many. Outer ring is the way to go. It makes sonic performance %30-40 better. Kuzma tonearms did not create wonders, also tt2 bettered nearly every...

    Miyajima Takumi, Fremer reviews it in the current Stereophile, Breuninger mounts it.

    As a Kansui owner, I believe, Kansui is a very good performer. For the price you get many things from the best cartridges. My initial findings about Kansui was not that really good, I listened with Asr, AR ref2se, Burmester and one of my friend used with ar ref10 phono(he sold the kansui). But...
