| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons I just examined my ART9 with a digital microscope. The magnets do not appear to be misaligned like yours. I have a pic but no way to post it. Happy to email it to you if you're interested.Bill | |
| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons Thanks for this data. I don't read German but the problem seemsto be with azimuth. That's interesting, as azimuth readings on my ART-9 are also off via Fosgometer. I can get the channels close through a rather extreme adjustment, and the cartridge... | |
| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons That's very interesting, ninetynine. How did this misalignment affect the sound? | |
| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons The ART-9 is a remarkable cartridge, easily holding its own against others in my stable costing multiples of its bargain price. | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? This thread has strayed far from its original usefulness into what is tantamount to BS-ing in the barbershop, which is fine but not really on topic. One last thought on points of diminishing returns. Unless you dedicate a lot of energy to the enti... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? I just don’t want to spend more time preparing to listen than actually listening. Me neither. Who does? I typically clean an album once, use a brush before each play, and keep my styli clean. But you will want to fine tune your set up, play with ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? mmporsche, With all due respect, if you want a "set and forget" system, you’re better off putting your $25K into a digital front end that gets you as close to the sound of great vinyl as possible. You can do it these days; digital has gotten that ... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K Hi Raul,Yes, I agree, it seems few cartridges are designed specifically for SUTs these days (with the Benz Ebony TR a notable exception). So if one is bound, like I am with the Allnic phono, to using SUTs, all one can do is look for carts with DCR... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K Hi Stewart,Your post prompted me to read Fremer’s glowing review in Stereophile. You’re right, the Proteus looks like a good match for SUTs. Either 30x or 40x would seem ideal, depending on the rest of the chain. The Allnic has 40x built-in and I ... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K That's good to know. My main analog dealer tells me the Kiseki is his favorite--and he has like 30 cartridges in rotation, several costing twice as much. Might have to take the plunge! | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K If I may briefly hijack the thread with a couple of tangential questions for theothergreg: so you find the HA-3000 to match well with the Kiseki? I have the Allnic H-3000, too, and I’m on the brink of ordering an HA-3000. I’ve also been considerin... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K mmporsche, you have many good options at this price-point, especially if you consider used decks. I have both a Brinkmann Oasis and Nantais Reference II and can recommend them both. The Oasis has a bit more focus and precision, but you absolutely ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Thanks a lot for sharing these informative reviews, whitecamaross. You certainly make me want to try a Pass x250.8! Plinius SA103: I bought this amp because i thought the SA100MK3 was amazing so i had to try it. Anyhow, i found this amp very detai... | |
| Why so many Plinius for sale lately Probably the one important weakness of Plinius amps is its high frequency extension which is relatively rolled off/muted, so you do not really hear the crispy sparkly sound of live instruments. The Ulta Upgrade from Vince Galbo, former Plinius... | |
