Field coil dava cartridge

Great to hear, Newton.

will be good to see how it compares to the Lambda as that is the first Lyra cart I liked (Olympos is also good but Lamda more extended).

 

Will be good to hear your findings

 

 interesting that you have Kondo silver cable which is what the Kondo arm does with SME. I mentioned in my Sigma MAAT report a guy who regularly changes his tone arm cable to Kondo in SME arms

@bonzo75 

i ordered it a month ago when I started this thread .

the Kondo silver with xlr is wired in to the arm with no din connector. So I won’t be able to try it on the sme .

I alternate between a Cardas clear beyond xlr along with an audience phono cable for the sme .

the Cardas clear beyond is my fav.

I am getting a ch precision p1 phono stage with a x1 power supply. I am very curious how the dava will sound when comparing between volatage amplification vs current amplification input in the p1. The dealer tells me the p1 has a caliberation disc and it’s  will be a breeze caliberating the dava to the p1. Looking forward to playing with all the tweaks . 😊

nice to hear from someone who has listened to the dava . I am going in blind lol … 

 

@bonzo75 I was also pleased to encounter your report.

It is offering a content that is unusual in this section of the forum, and a very welcome 'reference post' for when discussions are in place about obscure analogue replay ancillaries.

I like the 'to the point' preference being made known for an item, it certainly makes such an item 'Pop' in appeal and generate an interest.

Gon is screaming out for content like yours, especially supported by broad experiences of ancillaries that surface on regular occasion.

I'm sure the bounce back in communication would be very attractive from the Bulk of contributors.

I will hopefully stumble on a few more posts from yourself, now you are back using the Keyboard with Gon' in your sights.

Dear @bonzo75 : Good to see you posting in this forum.

You are a first rate listener reviewer and way better than some of the " professionals ".

I said " listener " because now I know that you post exactly what you listened and that’s all.

It was unfortunated for me and now I can see that for you too my post in your blog and my attitude was and is not diminished nothing and that statement you posted:

" (DaVa ticks most of the boxes) ". I was think that was posted by newton who shared the blog link.

Your traget is very clear from what you posted by your visit at Mike home place.

My room/system targets are different because I want that my listening sessions stay " truer to the recording " ( what is an impossible target to be achieved. ) or at least nearer to and everything the same my common sense tells me I will be nearer too the live MUSIC ( even if that " nearer " is really far away from there. ).

 

I like to mantain my room/system LP/Digital MUSIC reproduction with any kind of " colorations " at minimum. I like the natural color, power, transients speed, dynamic, rythm and the like of live MUSIC seated at nearfield position where between you and the MUSIC sources exist only the AIR.

 

Not only me but at least other two gentlemans disregarded the Dava cartridge that came at this forum and wbf with out any single spec and two weeks ago a gentleman ( not the manufacturer. ) shared a terrible FR cartridge deviations but not shares the cartridge compliance.

 

I posted about the Top Wing cartridges looking for opinions in this forum ( other that the reviews. ) an you can read there that at once at least 3 gentlemans disregarded as me too.

 

Why disregarded with out listen the Dava or the Top Wing? because if my target meaning is " neutral "/low colorations the Dava spec can’t do it and the EMIA phono+SUT and LFD+Dongle can’t do it neither.

 

So, the main issue is that each one of us have room/system personal/unique targets.

 

In my case I have no single reason to try diminish any other gentleman opinion and something through my posts is that always try to explain the foundations of my opinions with out telling that I’m rigth and you are wrong.

 

Agon is not a easy forum because some us like to achieve a " good " balance between subjectivity and objectivity that’s not achieved all the time: hard task for us that try to post with that balance/equilibrium.

 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

R.
