| Building my 1st real system. Need advice. Hoping to pair Luxman507uxii/Dyaudio Evoke20. I ran a combo of Musical Fidelity A5 integrated and ATC SCM11v2 for about 2 years.

| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? I'll have to consider that. Was looking into changing up my cartridge anyway (AT ART9XI, Hana ML-maybe not now). I may have to bite the dust on trying to sell the SH.Thanks for the info! | |

| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? Never mishandled. I am meticulous with record care, handling, TT operation, etc. |
