Nice system. I particularly like the Woo/AKG combination. Consider upgrading the rectifier tube in the Woo. Woo offers an upgrade that I haven't tried, but you might do that when you order. I love my Holland GZ34. You might also consider having the cans recabled with Cardas.

Why not move further up the Sumiko line to the Blackbird? I love mine.

I assume by your speaker choice that you have a small listening room. If not, then you might consider full-range speakers.

That's a nicely balanced system. I agree you could get more out of it with a cartridge upgrade, and of course you could (OK, here we go, opening up the can of worms!) try out some wire or cable upgrades. The tablettes are great, but also could use a small sub woofer. Integration can be tricky, but a fast, tightly designed sub could be nice.

Thanks. I think I might do the cart upgrade at some point. I'll take some time to figure out what (I think an $800 cart is a bit out of reach right now).

I thought about a woofer, but I don't think I could use it, unfortunately, because I live in an apartment without great sound proofing, and the woofer's bass would carry.

I always thought it was me...and I was always afraid to put it to a vote!
