The Grado Sonata 2 was installed yesterday and is sounding good (a decent 1/3 off discount when you trade in an old Grado Sonata in France).
It is running in fast, the initial hardness is beginning to disappear after only 8 LPs. The output is high - I have set the phono stage to 38dB gain to avoid overload on maxi singles. Good sharp imaging, great dynamics and bass, and the mid and treble are slowly settling in.
One caveat for record clamp users - the body is quite large and, when in the run out groove, only just clears the SME clamp on those LPs that are really crammed with music.
