I am thinking of replacing my Denon 103 with one of the above.
Should I go for the spherical?
I like the ballsy sound of the 103 spherical that conveys the essence of the music rather than explicit detail for the sake of it which is the reason I am considering the SPU.
I will be playing it on a standard SME 3012 series II tonearm. Do I need any additional rider weights or counterweights?
Will an EAR 834P phono preamp be suffucient to drive it?
I can get a standard 103 for £140 and a SPU spherical for £650 and the elliptical for £720.
I am told the SPU and the 3012 are a marriage in heaven so is it worth the upgrade?
Many thanks for your advice.
