Really excited to share that my dream of having a second system in my office is finally a reality. I just got my dad's old Dual 1215 back from service at Fix My Dual. Bill did an excellent job with it and if you ever find yourself with a Dual in need of love, send it his way.
Cart is a Shure with an m95ed stylus. I'm running it into a cheap phono I had, then into my Magni head amp. Plan is to upgrade my main systems phono to an MM-6 and move the Mani up to the office. I'll put a switch in to use my headphones in both my digital and analog systems at some point.
So far the sound is great, even with this JV preamp. It's extremely silent during quiet parts through headphones, so much so I kept thinking it wasn't working. Only issue is that warps are much more noticeable but I think a weight will solve that, to some degree.
