Interesting post, you are way ahead of me on the TT front. I'm just starting to get a grasp on proper setup and what not. I read some good reviews on the LO Benz, and some not so good ones on the HO. I imagine I'm approaching "diminishing returns" with this, as I my ears are not the best. I plan to mount it on a 300 arm installed on a Rega Planar 3, and run it through either a a Markof stepup, or Audio Alchemy "Vac-in-a-box". I may end up experimenting with re-configuring a Hag Bugle gain to run LO as well. CD and Tape, just don't get me in the same place as good quality vinyl.
