| Best MM? Does the Charisma V2 have a replaceable stylus? | |
| Best MM? What arm do you use with your 2M? | |
| Best MM? I will say, I do think I've found the bass I've been missing! | |
| Best MM? It's lovely. Without comparing, I'd agree it has drive life and holography but the Delos may have more timbre in voices and acoustic instruments but that's just my memory. I'll know more this weekend. There's nothing more I'd like to do than get o... | |
| Best MM? Thanks for all the advice! 2M Black is what you are all saying, ridiculously good... even after only 2 hours of listening.I started this process because my Lyra Delos was either broken or worn out or something. Turned out it was just dirt on the c... | |
| Best MM? Amazon sells the 2M Black so I can return it if I don’t like it! | |
| Best MM? $1500 will buy one a London Super Gold. It's a Moving Iron, not Moving Magnet, producing an output voltage of 5mV! The Herron phono amp has enough headroom to handle the London's unusually high output; not all do. The cartridge is not for everyone... | |
| Best MM? Budget, FYI, is up to $1500. I guess it's just going to be trial and error.... starting with either the Audio Note IO3 or the Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony. | |
| Best MM? I used to have a Virtuoso Wood but IMHO the Zephyr is a better tracking and sounding cart. Good to know. What's your phono preamp if I may ask? | |
| Best MM? Thanks for the thoughts. Anyone have any experience with an Audio Note IO3? Its so crazy that there’s no way to try out any of these cartridges before you buy. | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable I have my Thorens 124 with glued-on ebony wood spikes sitting on a 1" maple butcher block which sits on spikes attached to wall shelf bolted to a stud in the wall. It allows me to use the classic Swiss Beachwood plinth with no mushrooms instead of... | |
| Herron NOS Tubes I had a set of bugle boys in my system and to me they sounded great but not better than the 7DJ8s. | |
| Lyra Delos Stylus Crud on top of cantilever Did that just now. All it did was push the dirt up the cantilever. I was able to use a toothpick to knock it off. Don't think I killed it. Definitely sounds better. | |
| Neil Young - Guitarist I know from interviews that Neil Young isn't even in Neil Young's top 100 guitarists of all time. | |
| Can anyone who has heard Raidho X-1s and Harbeth M30.1s discuss the sound? Thanks for the spot on advice. Managed to hear X1s again last night and I can confirm Dave and Troy's assessment. |
