Well folks, finally got a high mass arm to put on the Technics. (parentage unknown, highly chromed with a spherical sliding counterweight)
That being the case, I could now mount the Ortofon MC20 supreme and hear the results of my mods to the Lidstrom schematic.
To my ear it sounds good but that may be the change to mc rather than the stage itself.
For a phono stage costing less than US$20 I'm more than pleased. (This is the NE5534 version, the AD797 version might cost as much as US$100 if I use tweaky caps and resistors as well)
I'll keep you folks posted on the mods but now that I have a functional MC rig I may spend more time listening than typing.
Enjoy
Drew
