| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... After reading through this thread I was surprised to see that @pani was so fickle in dumping the Art 9 after being so enthusiasticI was not fickle. I used it for 2 years happily. The longest I have ever used any cartridge without further contemp... | |
| New idler for Garrard 401 Guys, is there any improvement in the areas of transparency and noise floor ? These are the 2 main areas where the Garrard falls short of many good BD and DD turntables. | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? That’s true Thom | |
| Good Direct Drives Got it @chakster Btw, I don’t believe that one needs a super duper tonearm to evaluate a turntable’s greatness. A rewired jelco or Rega 1000 with a quality cartridge and phonostage will clearly show if turntable is average, good or great. Whether ... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Do you play your Denon 103 at 57db gain ? | |
| Good Direct Drives SME 30 sounds slow and dark to my ears. It is no secret. Many have commented it sound that way. It does all the good things of a suspended belt drive: fluid, holographic soundstage, low noise and high resolution but when it comes to preserving the... | |
| Good Direct Drives I havent heard the SL1000r but to my ears the SP-10mk2 sounds better than SME Model 30. So, it really depends. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thanks @audiofun | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thats very interesting @audiofun . I use a Ortofon Cadenza Blue which has an output of 0.5mv. Will that pose any noise issues with SPL Phonos ? | |
| Good Direct Drives @chakster people who have heard the 1200G and the sp10 mk2 claim that 1200G is better. So I am not sure how you come to the opposite conclusion. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thanks @audiofun , how does the SPL Phonos compare against other higher end phono stages like the Pass or your AMR ? | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? By the way, I had a decent Naim CDP for sometime. While it did give some idea about the rest of the system’s voicing, the difference in dynamics, resolution and transparency that a quality analog rig (with a good phonostage) brings in even with a ... | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? I recommend using your digital rig for this purpose. Digital has given us several gifts - rock solid "speed stability" along with the fact it's repeatable - no tracking force, VTA/SRA, and azimuth to doubt yourself over. While I get your point... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thanks for the update @audiofun Would you say that 103.3 is a great option if one wants to buy a serious $2k cartridge ?Which phonostage do you use primarily ? | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? I use a basic Denon 103r for checking the tone and timbre of my system. If my system sounds fine (tonally balanced and musically right) with the 103/103r then I proceed to change carts or cables to take it to the next level. In that respect the De... |
