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.
