| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi restock, Sorry for the late reply as I did not see the notification for this thread. I wish I could give an accurate assessment of the MSL Gold vs the Ultra Eminent, however, I did not have both carts at the same time. As you might have... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 Norbert, My bad but exciting times up ahead for you. The Etna is indeed highly regarded the problem is I've never heard one. I'm sure it's a great sounding cart whether it will be my type of sound is the question. Hoping to hear an Etna soon. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 bobheinatz and nkonor, As an update, my MSL Ultra Eminent Bc should be on it's way back from Soundsmith. Hopefully, my aural memory can discern the similarities/differences between the Eminent vs. the Gold ( though I'm really eyeing the Platinum)... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 Nkonor, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I'm glad that your on your way to recovery. Health is truly wealth and even winning the lottery isn't worth more than that ( though it can buy quite a number of gears though, hahaha)... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 nkonor, Thank you for the congratulations. I have actually updated some stuff since I initially posted this thread. My complete system can be viewed at the virtual systems ( Sorry, don't know how to link it and I have to update the pics... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 I haven't revisited this thread in a while. As an update, i did purchase the AF3. Thanx for the all the replies and suggestions. | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi sunnyboy1956, This was exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you. Despite my initial concern regarding the musical flexibility of the Koetsu Coralstone, I have decided to either get the Etna SL, now knowing how superior it is ... | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi rauliruegas, The rebuild by my sonic lab would almost cost the almost same as a new one, save a few hundred bucks. I could just get it re-tipped by Soundsmith, but I have heard friends who have gone this route and say the carts don't... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 nkonor, Just read the review. I need to win the lottery as well to afford that combo, though it makes me want to go straight to my Techdas dealer. But, I will stick to the plan. update: my ARC dealer was hospitalized for a we... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 lostbears, Yup, will update on the demo of the Ref Phono 3. I'll take a more strategic approach to this upgrade as you guys have suggested. I even got a schedule for another demo this time for a Kronos Sparta. Though I previously scra... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 nkonor,I get what you guys are saying. I am postponing the af 3 audition to think this thing through. "Earth is calling you" is a not so subtle suggestion for a wake up call. I guess I was too eager for change/something new and exciting. To pass t... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 inna, my wife may not object to a phono stage or a cartridge upgrade ( though definitely not this year) but after this my bank account will be the one objecting.downunder, i can barely afford the kuzma that's why I am going for th... | |

| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Thank you all for your replies. I really appreciate it. I've decided to keep the Ref 75se. As much as the deal was good, it became more about the deal and the reliability issue of the ARC than the music which is also what inna pointed out. The R... | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo charles1dad, When I mean "it's like splitting hairs" , I don't refer to the sound they convey,more on the fact they both have their own strengths and weaknesses which makes the decision that more difficult.almarg, When my ref 75 ... |
