Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Tbg,Thanks for bringing us back on course. Any other experiences with these tonearms. I'm very interested in how the Triplanar compared to the Schroeder-2 and DPS in the infamous shootout.

Difference Virtual Dynamics Nite 2 and Master
I have had experince with the difference of these two grades for hteir power cords. Essentially, the Master series retains the dynamic capabilites of the Nite but they are a lot more natural and timbrally accurate. It's a very noticeable differenc...

Raul, SirSpeedy,Thanks for your feedback on the Kuzma linear tracking arm. This seems a little out of my budget anyway.I thought your comment about sounding different, but not necessarily better, as well as pivot arms having more guts, interesting...

Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Doug,Maybe your question about my preference for Science or Art was rhetorical, but I'll answer it anyway. I'm actually an engineer/scientist so I do appreciate deliniating the individual sub-components of the music's fabric. I tend to favor highl...

Sbank,How does your Zyx cartridge at 0.48mv output work with your CAT pre? Does it have enough gain. What volume dial position are you typically at?Andrew

Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
Gregm,Thanks for clarifying. Do you rememebr the output voltage of your Allaerts? Apparently the older MC1B had a lower output than it does today. Today's version is 0.5mv.Andrew 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
Raul,Thanks. Comfort is a good thing. I'm getting more and more comfortable every day as the system is coming together.New question: How does the Allerts do with a diet of 70% rock, 30% Jazz/classical? Does it have the "punch"? Are the Lyra or Zyx... 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
Gregm,That's very valuable information. Seems like ~0.5mv would be possible but requires special care. Where was the volume set in most cases (of course depends on speakers)? 12-2 O'clock? The MC1B MkII actually has 0.7 mv output which would proba... 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
Raul,Thank you for your very detailed and passionate response. Seems like this is a good one.With respect to your comment: "Unfortunatelly for you my MC2 Finish has nothing to do with your today electronics.", do you mean that the output voltage o...
