After owning a Linn LP12 for 30 years I got hooked on the SG2 after a demo by Allen Perkins at my dealer. Upgraded to the SG 1.2 in 2019
An outstanding tonearm for this TT.
Replaced my Lyra Skala
The VTL TL 7.5 III was the perfect preamp in my situation. It has four main outputs, it works well with most other amps. Although it has a wide and deep soundstage and excellent tonality, it is very neutral and allows the characteristics of the amps to come through. Using TA XL Gen5 signal cables and Snake River Signature Hybrid Amp power cable
Using Transparent XL Gen5 RCA interconnects to the VTL and Snake River Signature Amp cord
