With what you save through a retip(If you haven't already): Replace the GCPH's stock fuse, with a HI-FI Tuning Supreme and upgrade the power cord to something with conductors of 10 to 8AWG(preferably silver and NO PVC or vinyl dielectric). You will be very pleasantly surprised.
Cartridge Recommendations
Recently broke my Clearaudio Virtuoso and looking for a replacement. Instead of spending 575 for a replacement I am considering a different cart. My modest system:
VPI HW-19jr w/upgraded platter
Jelco 750 arm
PS Audio gcph
Currently using a Denon DL-110 as my backup. Was thinking maybe trying the Denon 304 or Denon 103R or and upgrading it but not sure if I need a step up transformer? Should I stick to a MM maybe the Ortofon 2M black?
