after introducing groove plus srx to my system and letting it settle in the changes are superior IMO.
my other phono stage ear 834p modded and tubed rolled was a fine sounding pre. it has that tubey magic. tight bass, and highs are good also. i thought i was there and could settle down. but i was able to acquire a
Tom Evens groove plus srx in a deal i could not refuse.
the unit brought out sounds to music i have been listening to for years, that i have not heard before.
air, delicacy, and that magic to the mid and upper cycles that is just phenomenal.
i beleive that i tend to think that the lower end is not as defined because thats the way it should be. not over laying the sound, and doing what the bass is supposed to.
another thing i had to do is re tweak my VTA and VTF. going with more tracking weight, and lowering the VTA.
i guess i was cheating to get the high end. and with the groove its not necessary to cheat. i am now tracking at ZYXs recommended 2 grams which is making for better tracking.
as hard to believe as it is one piece of equipment can make dramatic differences to a system.
to imagine a whole Tom Evens system well i guess as the commercial says priceless.
