In terms of methodology, I’m not crazy about changing two things at once. I mean, there’s no way a cartridge that well-reviewed (and expensive) could sound that bad. But I suspected that, whatever the problem was, it would probably go away once I’d swapped it onto a different tonearm and subchassis. For reasons I still don’t really understand, this fancy moving coil cartridge made my system sound way worse. My previous “upgrade,” the Dynavector XX-2 cartridge, was a bit of a disaster. Indeed, I’m relying more than ever on music - and I’m grateful to have lots of picky, precise, time-consuming work to keep me busy every couple of weeks.
Scary as it’s been, it certainly hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm for my LP12 Modification Frenzy or for listening to music in general.
I’ve been in coronavirus lockdown since mid-March, working from home and only going outside to jog and buy groceries. Since my last major installation, the world has turned completely upside down. Installing the Linn Ekos 2 Tonearm and Kore Subchassis
