| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I live in Sydney in the eastern suburbs.Copperhead has VTA 'on the fly'.You're very welcome to come over to hear the arm which has the Dynavector DV1s attached.I have the Hadcock GH228 with ZYX Universe also attached and am waiting for the arrival... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Hey Downunder......I can't believe that being in Australia, you don't take advantage of having access to the Continuum Copperhead tonearm?!This arm quite frankly, moves design parameters to a new level.It's big brother (the Cobra), is the REAL rea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you Raul for this valuable post.I agree with you......it is only in the last 10 years that I have mounted MC cartridges in my system.Before that I was happily playing with Nagaoka MP11, Stantons, and the original Garrott P77 bought from the ... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom In my experience, nothing beats the ZYX Universe .24 Copper.One of the truly enlightening changes to any system.The Dynavector DV1s is no slouch either but lacks the last vestige of transparent emotion of the ZYX.Don't touch the Lyra Titani unless... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? Midrange is back!!!I suspect the Copperhead arm cabling needed more than 70 hours burn-in (who woulda thought?)...unless someone knows that the Dynavector DV1s needs that much?The Raven/Copperhead/DV1s combo now outperforms any front end I have he... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? Thanks for all the helpful replies.Last night I listened till 1am and it was sounding very good.I'm hoping the problem is with the new Copperhead arm and its brand new exotic wiring which has is still burning-in after about 60 hours.I think the Ha... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? We're comparing apples to apples.Rega Planar 3, Hadcock GH228, ZYX Universe.Raven AC, Hadcock GH228, ZYX Universe.With Rega, superb deep 3D midrange.With Raven, recessed 2D unconvincing midrange.For what it's worth, Halcro DM10 Preamp, Halcro DM58... | |
| zyx universe cartr.- ideal weight -ideal vta , Didn't work for me Doug!Whilst your methodology sounds very convincing, I tried it on my Raven AC with Hadcock GH228 and it failed.I have had the ZYX UNIverse for 1 year and thought I was tracking it at 1.9gm until I bought a digital gauge which s... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Sorry Nsgarch,It was only after I sent the post that I saw the date on yours.Who knew this thread was that old? | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? I don't know what you're reading Nsgarch....but Arthur spends more time and space on the ZYX than most other cartridges he has ever tested.It is right after his Class A description of the DV1s in the Recommended Components File.http://www.high-end... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Great articles posted by Davehrab.They explain it perfectly.I lived with the REL Stadium II subwoofer in my system for 10 years and loved every minute of it but my main speakers are large floor standing units incorporating 12" paper cone woofers w... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Gee....it didn't sound like that when it was in my head???I've got to learn to read what I write!!??? | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? You've heard it from Lolo, Nsgarch and Newbee.I'm an architect and they all speak the truth....and yes.....if you can mount off a masonry wall, all the better! | |
| Lyra Helikon SL Opinions? I used a Lyra Helikon in a Hadcock GH228 Unipivot for 2 years and was very happy compared to my previous Clearaudio Insider Gold.I then switched to the Lyra Titan i and was disappointed.Whilst the detail was there, the bass was not as good but wor... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Ringy tone on MANY arms??!!!.....thou kiddest surely?!I have a 30 year old Hadcock GH228 Unipivot...UNDAMPED...with the ZYX Universe sounding amazing as it does on EVERY arm I've heard!I have to agree with Thomas on this one Dgad.....the ringing i... |
