Systemdek IIX with Tone Arm Adapter
So I bought me an Audio Technical AT150MLX cartridge (in Tokyo) and installed it on my Systemdek IIX, and for the first time I could hear what everyone was talking about. Even though I kept reading that vinyl can/does sound the same/better then CD play back, I had heard no such thing from my own record player using the Ortofon OM5 cartridge. With the new cartridge, the difference/similarities to my digital front end is very obvious, and in some ways the vinyl wins! So here I am looking to add more upgrade to my Systemdek IIX and the cable was a good place to start.
When one talks of audio, and I intend to speak of ‘high-end’ audio, one must always bring to the discussion talk of cables and the necessity of cabling. Let me say now, that I am a convert of better cabling. That stuff that comes free is meant for the recycling bin, which brings me to a super fine upgrade, Wireworld Polaris 5 interconnect cable.
