how the fudge did you get ...

... a rek o kut/syntec/grado gold for a grand total of $135? You should go buy a lottery ticket.

I have that same combination and paid about $375, and I thought that was a steal.

By the way:
Do NOT use the grado with the syntec. They just don't match up well from a tonearm/cart resonance stand point. I did a head to head on that arm between the grado and an at440mla which has 1/2 the dynamic compliance as the grado and the at440mla won hands down. Now the grado on my technics 1210 which is much more suited for the grado's low compliance is just magic. The users manual for the syntec recomends a cart with a dynamic compliance coefficeint of 4x10^-6 where the grado is 20X10^-6 and the at440mla is closer at 10X10^-6.

Food for thought,

Nate
