Absolutely no complaints with the Clearaudio/Benz combo. Be sure to keep enough money aside for a great cart like the Benz ACE 'cause the cart is 1/2 the system IMO Add on tweaks like the suspension and a $250 record clamp for major sound improvements.

Ok, I was shooting for the Performance SE 'table with the carbon fiber tonearm. Then slapping a Maestro cartridge on it. Unfortunately in North America the distributor is not including the catridge like Clearaudio specifies.

I only have MM in my BP6 preamp. As far as clamps, I like the Twister clamp for $100.

Sounds great!  The HRS clamp comes highly recommended as well. All the Clearaudio accessories are extremely expensive but very cool to add on to the TT Like the Emotion isolation feet 3 for $200

Thanks. Ok, does that flatten the record like the Twister clamp? Yeah, they are. Kind of silly, but I suppose they're worth it. I just want the clamp anyway.

It both flattens and absorbs the vibrations. The bass becomes much tighter and faster with a great clamp /isolation feet combo
