Your Analog Front End


I wanted to hear what other A-goners had as an analog front end--including how that came about at that front end and what upgrades they would / or intend to make. This would include everything from the phono stage to the cartridge and any tweaks they find essential to analog.

BTW, I'm waiting on a Mana support. I'm praying really hard that this is all that and the bag of chips everyone says. Can anyone help me sleep better at night until it arrives?
I've got a question for Vince (but I've also listed my gear!)

I figure you must be Canadian because I've never heard of LC1's in use outside the country -- a shame really. I've got a Mk V as well which I'm using with a SME 309/Goldring Eroica H combo into an EAR 834P. I've got Neutral Ref. from the pre-amp and I'm waiting for Golden Ref. phono leads (really looking forward to these). I've got an LC1 into my EAR which I found to be indispensable (and found it to be great from my CD source as well) . I've got an idea where you may buy, but I'd appreciate it if you would let me know by e-mail where you got your rig and the especially the Aesthetix. Balanced seems to make a lot of sense for analogue, but I don't know where the Io may be available. I am currently looking for an analogue dealer with floor models in S.O. Thanks.
