| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING With all of the opinions voiced so far on the Lyra sound, I have not seen any mention of the Tonearm or Turntable used along with the ancillary upstream gear. Surely the cartridge, tonearm, tonearm cable, phono cable and the table have a lot to do... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING IME, Lyra’s can sound bright and tipped up if their set up isn’t 100% correct. The new angle technology is both a bane and a plus, IMO. The problem with the new Lyra cartridges is that they are extremely sensitive to set up variables and the back ... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @yeti42 The Kleos has a cantilever that can easily be impacted by wrong A-S. I have to take a listen to the modification that I did to the A-S tonight, but what i added was a very small amount, as too much and the cantilever will skew. The WT ar... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn I think you must be confused. I believe that AJ considered the Transcendence as his Magnum Opus! If you ever get a chance to hear this turntable, i believe you will understand why.As to the WTA, I have heard absolutely no issues with t... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn Thanks for your explanation. I was aware that the arm potentially can move in the longitudinal plane, although I have never heard any issue with this..and frankly fail to see what would cause it to do this? An electrical engineering fr... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas Thanks Raul. I'm not jumping ship on a Linn Klimax for a Rega 10 ( even though this is a good table). BTW, please do check your spelling in your last post...;0)If i move on from the Linn, it would be to a Basis or maybe a TW. Both of... | |
| Tracking error or ?? IMO Any arm will have its pluses and minuses, including the Aro. Question is whether it works well on the table that one is planning on mounting it and with the cartridge that one utilizes. The LP12 is a severely limited platform for mounting afte... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas Raul, I am not considering the original Naim Aro, I am interested in the new Naim Aro that has just been released on the Solstice table. I have no idea if this arm will be available separately, but if it is, then I think it could be ... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam OP, how old are your small signal tubes...signal and driver? As lewm adroitly points out above ( better than i could) these could be the issue you are experiencing, along with break-in ( although this I doubt if the bottom end response is severely... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @scar972 I doubt it is the record. The other records i played that night were all fine, but this LP has more dynamics and modulations in the groove than those. While the record could be damaged now, I don't think it was before I played it that n... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @boothroyd Some good suggestions there. This is probably a time when it would pay to have two turntable set ups. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rossb I think that is a good suggestion. I would like to have an arm with more adjustment than the PU7, but I would certainly not discount the PU7. Did you have the Kuzma 4 point 9? If so, was it on the LP12? | |
| Tracking error or ?? @imhififan A worn out track would definitely be a culprit, but I think in my case this is not the situation. I have heard a very small amount of distortion on a few other highly dynamic and highly modulated tracks. Always in the right channel, w... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam I think you have an integrated? If so, you probably have driver tubes for the amp section and signal tubes for the preamp. This should be addressed in the manual. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @tomic601 Wearing out the Kleos is not really part of my plan. I have considered jumping ship on the Linn, simply due to its severely hobbled tonearm scenario, but i still like the basic platform. ( plus, with the new Karousel bearing, it sounds ... |
