New Kronos review!

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

Have you tried other arms/cartridges on your AC? Right now I am leaning towards putting the Sussurro on the AC (Raven 10.5 arm) and the Shilable on the Kronos (12" Black Beauty arm). Anyone got some comments on the best way to go?
Hmmm...this looks intriguing; ever used one of these? http://www.arche-headshell.de/accessoires/arché-5d-headshell/
