Hi everyone. This is my first post and I thought I'd share my existing system and what changes I'm thinking of making in the near future. Vinyl makes up about 90% of what I listen to and I currently have a Rega P5 with an Ortofon 2M Black, a Reflex M, a VTL TL-6.5 preamplifier, a pair of VTL MB-450 monoblocks and a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona M loudspeakers. While I really like the sound of my system as it is I am keen to upgrade to a MC cartridge as I want to uncover more detail from my records. The plan is to get an Elevator EXP to use with my Reflex M and as far as the cartridge goes I'm thinking of going for an Ortofon Cadenza Blue. I will post my thoughts here once I feel the new gear has been properly burnt in.  Oscar

Welcome Oscar! Yes, please do post your experiences of the Elevator EXP/Reflex M combo with your new cartridge. As it happens I've just been reading an old StereoTimes review of the Elevator/Era Gold V combo - which was very positive! ------------- Bob Majestic DAC/pre-amp Accession MC/Enigma, Accession MM, Reflex M, Elevator EXP, Era Gold V Solo ULDE, Novo, Lautus USB and digital, Libran balanced, CuSat50 2 x Proprius + Spatia/Spatia Links |
