| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Even if we can't count on Raul for Munich iIgh-End show - how about having a meeting with those analog-A'goners who are coming in ? I am here and can offer a good listen as well as some company while touring through the show. And a nice shoot-out ... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Mikelavigne, just checked and saw the A-820 listed and pictured in your system.Sorry and by all means, don't take my remark about ss-based RTRs personal.And yes, having had good relations to the Bavarian Broadcast as well as to two recording studi... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Mikelavigne, while Syntax has 2 Olympos (one of them really great...) he knows very well that even among his cartridge line-up it has fierce competition which it can not outperform.With the RTR we have the old problem again - it has to be played v... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Nandric, don't worry - I am peaceful and humanistic, despite my bad reputation...... ;-) ........ | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Follow-up to Downunder's proposal: how about everyone can name 3-5 records and one tonearm to work with and demonstrate the respective cartridge(s).Maybe we will find a distributor/exhibitor who is interested in working with us and use the shoot-o... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Downunder, great suggestion! I'll be there.Let's make the shoot-out at TW's room.Bet he will be delighted to see a few of us.........;^) ..... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Pedrillo,we will hardly be able to agree about the periphery components ....Anyway - let me suppose RMAF 2011.I'll be there. | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Travbrow, other great cartridges? Well - in no particular order and with different individual virtues:- Shinon Red -2nd series- Miyabi original- Kiseki Purpleheart Shappire- Sony XL-88 -2nd series- Ikeda EMPLand 3 others which I won't go public... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Travbrow, please re-read my last post - my system may have changed a bit for the better, but even back then it was easily the equal of anything the industry offers today or what you may find here on A'gon.And - no, the FR-tonearms aren't all th... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Mikelavigne, thank you very much for the Herzon link. I really appreciate it. I'll keep you posted with the Halcyonics.Cheers,D. | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Raul, first - what I meant with "physical presence" has nothing to do with the way a cartridge is able to express dynamic changes or amplitude. It is a matter of energy transfer. And it is a direct interaction related to the mechanical/dynami... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Syntax, you are quite right. Sometimes the answer to many questions is simple.It is an everlasting and itself inducting process here. We poor analog-junkies go always for the next fix - and the next will always be the best in the moment or the ill... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Nandric, well - the non-existence of the entity of Sith is yet not proofed. A Sith is rather exposed only by his actions and his dealing in absolutes. You know, the dark side of the force is very tempting....... that's why so many great and m... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Raul, I always listen well - that's why I am so careful with my statements. That I do not value the EPC-P100c/4 as high as you do may simply have to do with different biases and different preferences in taste (here we go again - individuality... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Dgob, the "best I ever heard" is a sensible and wise statement. No man with a real understanding in audio or other complex areas of life would ever use this term without the later 3 words.I too know the Technics P100c/4 from former ownership. I... |
