Hi Roger, it's a great overall sound alright, very open with dynamics, the SME V tonearm really digs deep into the vinyl groove with excellent natural sounding retrieval..!
The makers of the Kinshaw Perception phono-stage (British made) now have an upgrade path available, you post them both the Kinshaw Perception phono-stage (2x box PSU & phono-stage) along with £250 and they add another PCB board into/onto the phono-stage and apparently it dramatically improves and lowers the noise/floor level, if your not happy with the upgrade they'll reimburse you the £250 and transfer your phono-stage back to standard trim etc....... a win win situation I think.
I've been buying quite a lot of new and used vinyl albums over the past 2/3 months, I've around 550 vinyl albums in my personal collection.
I've been using my local Hi-Fi outlet shop called 'Audio Emotion' in Central Scotland - Leven quite a bit of late, that's were I recently bought the German made Acoustic Signature turntable, excellent customer service/dedication/knowledge from owner Gary, top audio guy!
