In the meantime, I'll be interested to hear your comments on whatever you wind up doing with your setup.


I have not taken the plunge into costly moving coils yet. The Benz Gold was $250 with an old cartridge for trade-in. The CA640P pre-amp was only $169. The combination sounds good I am just looking for more. I have inherited a third of my mother's condo and we have not put it up for sale yet but I can understand how unsold property can be a drain. Utilities and monthly condo fees and now property taxes, oh my. I wish us both luck in the real estate market.
