Ortofon SPU Synergy

Hey Ron
I am a begginer in this "concept" and I have so many things to learn and work on...
-The 12' arm: Ortofon dynamic or static(?), EMT, SME 3012...
-The right SPU:From the information I have been able to analyse I feel very close to the Synergy.
-An now...phono preamplification: I was thinking to use my Cello RMC but I am also understanding transformers should be considered.
As you see, I need help in every direction. I live in Spain and retailers here are looking somewhere else so internet is going to be the way.
Regards.David

Hey David,

You know it is really hard to feel sorry for you living in Spain. Give Christine an email over at schopper.ch...they are located a little east of you over the Alps. I have found her to be really informative and helpful. She recommended the Ortofon Synergy SPU, T 100 step-up (BTW, Ron's Auditorium23 Hommage T1 would be stunning...Ken A. is located in Germany), and the AS 309s arm. You also have the advantageous pleasure of not having to pay the frieght in USD! Good luck from Texas.

Many thanks Unoear
I agree, even if retailers and distributors are definitely focused towards "modern" audio here, there is no reason to feel sorry... ;-) .I have been in Schopper.ch and they apparently have someone, a local phone number at least, representing them in Spain (!)
By the way, would you recommend instaling the arm in a TD124 "extended" arm board for 12" or in the still to be purchased from the specialist market large wooden massive plinth? ( I have seen both approachs).Regards.David

Has anyone compared the Synergy with a Shindo-modified SPU?

This would be interesting to know for me too.
