Moving Coil Cartridge

Auditioned in home against ARC phono ref3 and preferred the resolving power of the PS Audio Stellar. Soundstage not as wide, but the detail won the day. Will audition the ref3se sometime.

Obvious sonic upgrade. Bigger soundstage and more organic presentation.

Mahogany finish

Appropriate shelves in rack combine to give a more stable sonic presentation with all gear. Wildly expensive, but worth it.
