Just a question to any GR owners reading this, have you tried changing the supplied phono leads for something else?
Today I did just that, a pair of Mark Grant HDX1 cables and well I'm pretty gobsmacked at the difference.
I know many people think that cables cannot make that much difference but oh my lord this isn't subtle, everything just pops out at you, maybe quite forward but so open and strong sounding.
The supplied standard cable sounds a bit veiled and murky by comparison.
The other thing is that the standard plugs were not making very good contact either .
