My Revelation M arrived today and I am using an SMPS to power it during several weeks of burn-in. I will carry on using the Reflex M until making the switchover later this month, using the PSU1 and a day of settling down.
It has the same neat functional look of all the GSP gear. A lot of know-how and engineering in a small box. I am really looking forward to trying the non-RIAA curves on my older LP's. One of the best and most versatile phono stages in the World. Designed, hand-built, and tested in the UK. I will post a musical review in due course. Edited by Fatmangolf - 04 Oct 2013 at 5:57pm |

Nice one Jon! I expect you'll be blown away with your non-RIAA discs coming from the Zyx and Elevator ...

Oh dear - next we know it will be a mono cartridge too Then you will be trying to fit a DV-507 to the techie to have removeable headshells. Yes, I know, that has been done already. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it in due course. |

Not sure I'll get to shellac for a while. Thanks for tempting me Tony!
So far it's had 80 hours burning in. I succumbed to a listen to the Zyx/EXP/Revelation M (serious Scrabble score there!) combo. Nice and absorbing sound but then the phone rang... I shall have a proper listen to some 50's and 60's classical LP's tomorrow night and try some of the options. |

There are lots of mono LPs on vinyl, the Beatles for starters, some of the older ones I have (mainly classical) sound rather ordinary with a stereo cartridge or even unacceptably noisy, but make beautiful music with a mono cart - granted a lot of the newer ones are pretty OK with a stereo cartridge but they still shift up a gear with a mono one. The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" is one. |

Jon, you're in for a great time with your Revelation M. When I bought mine I wondered if I was overdoing it and should have taken a Reflex M, but the extra control that the Revelation offers can be eye (ear?) opening with those older records.

Tony I see your point. Thank you, I have some mono LP's and will follow your suggestions. I may try a series wiring of the stereo cart if that would help?
Peter thank you, I will experiment as you suggest. Your review got me interested in the Revelation's flexibility. I was at work later than I had expected so the listening will have to wait a little longer. |
