Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm.
TW Acustic 10.5 tonearm owners with Raven One: What are your top recommendations for very low output moving coils? Anyone especially have experience with the Benz Ebony TR (.1mv) or the Miyajima Kansui (.23mv)?
Chris,I'm pretty much sold on the Raven One, but am still trying to gather information and impressions on both arms, the Phantom 2 Supreme and the TW Acustic 10.5, along with synergistic cartridge matches before reaching my decision.
I currently own the Dynavector XV-1S. It is a very fine cartridge, however, I'm curious about the Kansui and the very low output Benz. Based on the resonance frequency chart at resfreq.com/resonancecalculator.html the Kansui might constitute a better match with the 10.5 arm than the Benz. I realize other factors can also have a significant bearing on ultimate satisfaction.
Dr_john...With that 10.5/TW Raven Limited/Kansui combo, I'm interested in knowing if the sound conveys somewhat of a warm, supple, easy to listen to quality. Would you also please tell me what your electronics and speakers are? Sincere thanks.
