| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Case in point, most people just go by what they read and set the gain on the phonostage far higher than it needs to be. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Invictus005:What is the input voltage for my amplifiers input stage that will produce full output? Surely you know this as you purport to know how my system sounds. A system that btw you’ve never heard. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Invictus005:oh, yeah? Smh where do you people come from? | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Yes I do play both 103's at 57dB. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani: Not a problem. I play my .25mv rated 103's and they sound absolutely wonderful with black backgrounds at a very nice volume level, so a .5mv cart will be super quiet and smooth sailing. At 57dB of gain you are outputting .354 volts which is ... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Not at all. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Obviously YMMV, but I auditioned (all at the same time) the ARC Ref 3, Sim Audio 610P or 810P (don’t recall exactly which Sim unit it was, I know it costs about $8K), the Pass Labs XP25. There were a few other lesser priced units I also audit... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 For those of you who wanted to know how good the 103.3 is, I hope my first hand review (you know, from someone who has actually broken it in and listened to the item) was beneficial. It is a wonderful product and they do much more than just cantil... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 invictus005:I don't doubt that the OC9/II is a decent sounding cartridge but because I have never heard it in a system, let alone in my own system I have no opinion. I did hear and loved the ART 1000. Not a fan of the AT33PTG/II which I have aud... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 invictus005:Have you purchased the 103.3? The CTO (Itani-San) of Technics liked it so much on the new SL-1000R playback system that he ordered a 103.3 for himself. Its much much better than mid-fi. I am not blowing anything out proportion, I own i... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Obviously at that price point you have a great number of options. Chris Thornton of Artisan Fidelity has told me that the Dynavector 17D3 Karat is a great sounding cartridge at a price point lower than what you mentioned. I may pick one up to... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:You are most welcome. I would say yes to your question. One of my buddies loaned me his Kiseki Purple Heart for a coulpe of weeks and I liked it very much. It is a more refined device than a stock 103/103r but I believe I would prefer my 103.... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 I now have about 45 hours on the 103.3 and it has opened up quite a bit. One of the main differences I hear between the 103.3 and the stock 103r are primarily in the high frequencies with the 103.3 playing far freer and possessing a much more open... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Isalandmandan:the other poster is trying to hijack my thread. He has some sick fascination with my posts and follows me and always tries to hijack my threads. His questions are not sincere, they are a ploy to divert the intentions of my posts. I’v... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thanks islandmandan. Yes it is an awesome sounding cartridge. I am about to compare it to my Ortofon MC Anna this evening. So much fun! |
