I have never found a situation where coupling things together as in the picture sounds best. Spikes somewhere in the chain pointing at he ground, all the way.
I keep coming back to this recording, nice reference recording in many ways and an odd performance in other ways. Before that, just the comment that if you like the music style, L'oiseau-Lyre has just some fantastically quiet vinyl, with tons of dynamics
Craig, check out the owner's manual for the Ayre P-5xe phono stage for one such rewiring scheme. I just use a 5-pin DIN then either isolated RCA jacks or XLRs.
