The Anna, Lyra Atlas would make a nice match I bet. There are still NIB A-90's for sale, even here. Best value and a perfect match. For the money, the A-90 reigns supreme, imo.
Talea Arm: What cartridges are best?
What cartridge has your experience shown to work well with the Durand Talea tonearm?
Many Talea owners have used the Ortofon A-90 with satisfaction. Are there other combinations that give a rich, revealing and what I would call musical presentation?
In using the charged word 'musical', I want to distinguish between an experience of enjoying a recording, and the urgency I have occasionally experienced when I can't turn off my system, no matter what else beckons in the outside world.
I have a Talea One and am searching for a match made in heaven. I have no idea whether a wood bodied cartridge will compliment, detract, or be neutral in combination with the Talea's wooden wand.
In the same vein I don't know whether the A90 works effectively with the Talea *because* of its physical structure --a metal frame, contrasted with a wood bodied stator-- or simply because it's a really good interface between the Talea and the A90.
What gives?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Best,
David
