I second the use of RMA Babyface Pro. Recently, I had on loan its predecessor, the Babyface, and that was no slouch either. Much better than I remember some much earlier RME units. The rest of the system is also obviously well thought out. Congrats & enjoy !
God, I love the Prime Sig. Gorgeous. My own setup is more humble and far more piecemeal (Scout Jr, damped motor pod, Michell clamp, Achromat, Audiomods Classic tonearm, Phoenix Engineering Falcon motor controller, DIY tachometer).

I also recently added a new component for my analog-to-digital archival: The RME Babyface Pro. Recordings are on a whole new level from my previous ADC, and the RME actually even works quite well as a DAC and headphone amp for the notoriously picky Denon AH-D2000!

Yeah, I was surprised by how good the Babyface Pro really was. It took a few minutes to get used to the different sonic characteristics, but it's been quite pleasing, both for headphone listening, and vinyl to digital archival. It's a pity I didn't have it yet for the last local meet. Next time!

Cheap and cheerful Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, had it for a couple of years now, served me very well and no motor hum issues.

Finally got me a phono preamp, a Bel Canto Pre2P. Now to set it all up with a Denon DL-103.


Just purchased a DL103, time to try moving coil!
