Well the case is that in our forum the strongest argument possible is quoting J. Carr. Alas the intended (argument) force will not work if the quote is false or, much less painful, not 100% correct. I ''of course'' meant low inductance MC cartridges because those were the ''subject'' of this thread (grin). ''We'' the more well-to-do persons don't mess with ''low prised'' but ''high-inductance '' MM's and MI kinds.
Transfiguration Proteus: questions and comparisons
Guys,
I am thinking about upgrading my Phoenix S and the natural choice (considering how much I have enjoyed the Phoenix) would be the Proteus.
However... Even though I usually love Transfiguration’s neutrality, there are times when I wanted a warmer, thicker midrange, with more weight or physical presence (mostly with the vocals) and I’ve been really curious about the Lyra Etna SL considering that all reviews have been praising its warm mid-range.
I know there are other options with glorious mid-range (Koetsu comes to mind), but I’m not willing to trade transient speed (and the Transfiguration has plenty of it) for that. Could the Etna be the best of both worlds?
Thank you!
