When testing I like a few records like the soundtrack of the movie holy mountain and the soundtrack of the good the bad and the ugly. My musical tastes are ecclectic and I enjoy rock like slade and deep purple and bowie, to small ragas and ambient like brian eno and old reggae. My system uses a heavily modified atmasphere MP-3 with copper output vh caps, cinemag input transformers, lundahl power chokes and a polish made shunt volume control. My tonearm is a Simply Black Cantus on the Brinkmann and Micro 505L on the Micro Seiki. I use a Takumi cart on the Brinkmann and a Zero on the Micro.Thanks Mr.C, may I ask what is your main choice of music for reference, and the rest of your system?
The amps are Atma Sphere MA-1 to Atma Sphere Zero Autoformers to MBL 111e. My power cabling was self made and I use jelco phono cable, mogami balanced cables and 80 yr old cloth covered solid copper runs for my speakers.
