| Miyajima Kansui vs Dynavector XV-1S Sorry for slightly off-topic questionI would ask about Miyajima Kansui performance versus ZYX 4D Premium if the preamp is ZYX CPP-1 Pre-Pre. In other words do you thin ZyX CPP-1 pre-pre is correct for Kansui? I believe Zyx and Dynavector are on th... | |

| Vinyl listner Sorry but Denon DL-103 is very low compliance cartridge, so you need a heavy tonearm with high effective mass if you want to hear the music in a good way with dl-103. Technics stock tonearm is the worst tonearm for this cartridge, a total mismatch... | |

| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 ********* Doesn't the Zu Audio modded Denon 103 cart require a totally different tonearm to be mounted on a Technics 1200 series TT in order to get the best sq out of it? That was the impression I got when looking at the Zu Audio Denon years ago.Y... | |
