Hello from U.S. Deep South

Hello all.

When I was a freshman at University,

I was walking up the stairs in the Fraternity House,

when I heard what I thought was a gunshot!

It turned out one of the Brothers was playing the excellent Fiedler/Boston Pops RCA Shaded Dog soundtrack of Slaughter on Tenth Avenue... at... a pretty good volume!

Led to a discussion of the fellow's equipment,

and me buying my first real "Hi-Fi" system.

That was... maybe... 57 years ago.

Yet the beat goes on.

And the current project is to get me a phono stage to go with a nice preamp I just got,

but it's just high level, no phono stage.

And, I have never heard it, but seems to me like the Accession is what I need.

I have a fair number of mono albums.

But mainly, because I'm sort of a "tube guy".

And ALL the reviews and articles I have read about the Accession keep using words and terms like:

- smooth

- quiet

- "moving"

- non-fatiguing

- "non-electronic"

- "non-mechanical"

- neutral

- natural

- "human-sounding"

- "brings out the emotion in the music"

- and "almost electrostatic in its transparency"

Nothing about how it "measures".

Just about how it sounds, and how it "feels".

So, says I to myself, sounds like a good piece of tube equipment to me!

(I just won't take the screws out and look inside ! ! ! LOL

)

Comments certainly welcome.

But I think I've done my research pretty good.

Think I'm about ready to order me one.

Best regards,

James

P.S. Maybe one thing: the MM version of the Accession will certainly be happy with a Grado moving iron cartridge, won't it?

	Hi James, The Accession MM works superbly with moving iron cartridges.
