| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C catcher10 (and other experts here)In absolute terms, does a Phono pre with multiple gain/loading options only sound it's absolute best at 1 permutation of settings?I ask because I once read a ARC Ref 2 Phono review and it was said that it sounded ... | |
| New or used cartridge To add a tip when it comes to hours on used carts: the internet doesn't forget, you Google a used cart you are interested in with a claimed number of hours and you find an old advert of the same cart with more hours logged. Go figure | |
| SME IV Tonearm and Warped Records Hi. You could perhaps add a spacer between the cart and the headshell? This might also be an opportunity to tweak the sound as there are many options for the material of the spacer. Wood, C.F., carbon-nylon plastic etc. | |
| Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t I have had 4 DVs (1 xx-ii2 & 3 xv1s) then 2010 I moved to VdH Colibris (on my 4th). For me the 2 different DVs didn't share a family sound. Xx-ii2 is bass heavy and I best describe it as the Audiophile DJs choice cart. The xv1s gives up the b... | |
| When is it time to consider adding a SUT? Two words come to mind: distance and irritation | |
| How come only 1 or 2 cartridge makers offer a tune-up after run in? Just read the latest Crimson review in Enjoy the music and the reviewer covers this subject. | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Hi Thuchan. Are you getting away with 60db gain for the ART1000 or is your AA phono a special higher gain version? | |

| Goldmund Studio transistor in position 1 Hi Peter. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately that model motor looks very different to the one I have. Vusi. | |
| Van Den Hul what is the best cart ? ...unless you were looking for a higher output cart. May I suggest that you share your reasons for looking at a VdH, and your phonostage. | |
| SUT's carts and amps My vote is for option 1 too, with either a Lyra Delos or Kleos depending on your budget. Either one will be a big step up from the XX2 with the PH-7. |
