I used the Boards of Canada songs Aquarius and Olson to perform this shootout. All variables were controlled as tightly as possible with VTA being adjusted precisely with an Elvon VTA block after each turntable mat change. In addition the Audio Technica PTG33 II Cartridge was used along with the Emotiva PT-100 Preamp with all settings being equal across the test. High quality reproduction with the resolution set to 1080p is recommended for best results of this video. If possible feeding your playback device directly to DAC and your current HiFi setup will likely be the most revealing! Enjoy!
