Try a Denon DL103.
I used one on a Manticore Mantra of similar quality/design to your turntablearm and it sounded superb. Sounded pretty similar to NP5/ndac I’m also using.
I’m now using a DL103R on a Denon DP3000NE.
Although, every record isn’t going to sound superb. Some records just don’t sound very good.
An excellent suggestion, thank you, will definitely try the plain DL103. Is the R version very different?
Do what I do and keep what you have but leave vinyl listening to days when you have 3-4hrs spare and treat it as a special occasion. I have a Supercap powered Prefix S with a K17D3 cartridge. To me it’s better than streaming and I just accept it as it is.
My custom-built Thorens TD160B MKII and the newly refurbished Thorens TD125 MKI which will soon be playing together with the Cyrus Phono Signature and Cyrus PSX R MKII. Exciting.
This P8 is incredible… besides being beautiful (in my opinion!), it’s musical… in fact, having still owned the P6, it’s a P6+++, still that beautiful coherence, that fluidity, much more dynamic but with better timbre, more detail without any harshness, it’s superb to listen to! My Moon 180 streamer is far behind…
A superbly elegant looking TT. Far prefer this to some ot the metal monstrosities.
I’ve made a few posts recently bigging up my new wonderful nss333.. but “Rattle that Lock”, Dave Gilmour on vinyl on my MG-1, well… the 332 really sings, next level, out of this world!
I have the same condition - it’s called Retroitis Senelis
