Of course, you have to accept a few minor losses in terms of openness when the KECES' dedicated input takes on the W3's signals instead of the DS audio equalizers. However, its virtues - speed, resolution and good imaging - also come into their own via the KECES alone. It really doesn't have to be the W3: I strongly recommend to try out the DS Audio E1 or - bearing in mind the enormous sonic performance of the S4 - the 003 as well. What you save on the preamp could then be invested in a cartridge of an even higher quality.
