Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s

Dear Jazdoc: ++++ " do not like the signature of the Titan high frequencies...again a matter of personal taste. " +++++

yes and IMHO we have to add: cartridge/tonearm/TT/load Z set up and with which tonearm.

Your tonearm alone makes a difference in between all those cartridges and is a different tonearm than the SME V that Dreamauduio owns.

I think that he has some alternatives top improve its system quality performance where the tonearm is one important and critical about. Right now he decided for the Anna ( good!!! ) and needs to listen it in his today set up before any other change. Well only an opinion.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Wow. Those are all very nice & helpful suggestions. For the tonearm re wire which i am very interested , there is no person i have known here in Manila that do the tonearm rewire for an SME V. Maybe considering that re wire will change the sonic character of SME V arm and no technician available here to do so. For now i have elevated my interest in Mc Anna , PC1 supreme or Lyra Atlas. Hope u guys can share each carts strength & weaknesses.

Manila does have a postal service. You could always mail your arm to a qualified SME rewire expert. This would be th first thing that "I" would do before investing in a $$$ cartridge.

Some time ago I read something about rewiring SME Arms and that the
Factory offers that Service (their wire or what you supply) .... maybe you
can ask a Dealer about it.

If Dertonarm is willing to do the re-wire for you than you can get the Takeda silver wire. You can write to me if interested and I will ask Dertonarm for you.
