i recently purchased a new t/t.....and i am getting back into my old lp's

i know its what my ears hear,but i was just wanting some opinions on what mode to listen to the lp's in.

i have an onkyo 806 and have been using the pure audio mode

is there much difference in the direct mode,i haven't really checked direct mode out

just wanting some opinions



thanks

    I go back and forth between pure direct and stereo on my Yami, but for hard rock I will sometimes use two channel enhanced

    I like my Shure 97xe cartridge.

    I'm not impressed by the photo-pre capabilities of the onkyo though recievers though. I listen to LPs and CDs in Direct mode on my Onkyo 777, but I'm considering a seperate Pre because I'm not happy with it.

    It sounds quite good with Def Leppard and other metal bands... otherwise I do not use it.

    Sadly I haven't heard v15, but for $80 shipped from amazon, you can't beat the M97xe.... It sounds miles better than the Audio Technica cart that was on my t/t when I bought it.
