    Hah! Truth. Interesting. Ironically the guy i bought the current equipment from is an American living in London and wasn't able to import his stuff there. So he said. I love the UK. Used to be there once a month before Covid. Looking forward to getting back on the travel bus. Cheers to you and 22.

    Perfect. Thanks! You've helped me immensely down the path. There is so much information and so many options it's challenging to know where to start. Glad i came here.

    I believe it's the Exact. It was all ordered through Music Direct and they advised the standard cartridge (Elys 2 i believe) was not available so i was 'upgraded' to the Exact. Does that sound right?

I have a Cambridge Audio receiver and a pre-amp, but i need to crank it way up to get any good sound. I'm willing to trouble but also willing to upgrade my...
