| Ortofon Kontrapunkt C vs. Cadenza Bronze Raul, I'm not sure what you'd find "anal" about my desire to re-create the sound I loved from the K.c. If the stylus shape makes any difference to sound, it is reasonable to try to fit one as close as possible to the original (and the Replicant 10... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? I'm not sure I understand any of that. All I can say is that the Kontrapunkt C walks all over the Cadenza Bronze. | |
| tubes and analog Mab33, based upon a view of your system you appear to be one of his customers. You have a fiduciary interest in the product so your remarks are tainted. Can you say "shill" with me? If this were a correct attitude, the last people to be able t... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Got my Ortofon Kontrapunkt C back today, with a new FG2 stylus. I had replaced it with its supposed linear descendant, a Cadenza Bronze, but it never sounded the same. Happy to have Steve put me back in heaven with the Kontrapunkt C. And just $350... | |
| Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up I always recommend speakers first, component adjustment, then cables and finally vibration control. Never the source? I'm pretty convinced that GIGO applies to hi-fi as much as computers. | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II There is a very long thread about experiences with the Degritter here. I believe it's a fraction of the price of the Klaudio. | |
| Ortofon Kontrapunkt C vs. Cadenza Bronze It's back, and mounted on a headshell for an SME 309 arm. It definitely has, as far as psychoacoustics lets me tell, that addictive quality I remember. How come the Cadenza Bronze just doesn't sound as good? Who knows or cares? I'm about to do so... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II Yes, I have it downloaded already. | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II Not terribly helpful in answering your question, but I have no complaints about my combination of a Loricraft followed by a Degritter MkI. It is entirely possible that other things will be better still, but if records come out of my two machines s... | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Cables- a quagmire separating the wheat from the chaff. I shall not ask if you refer to the cables or the listeners! Or, if I were to take inspiration from the grammar police lately active here, I'd point out the inefficiency of using a quagmir... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? My old Kontrapunkt C is supposed to arrive on Friday if the postal service works, after having had a new stylus fitted rather quickly. We shall have to convince @vasaudio to try repairing some Decca cartridges! | |
| Help me select few vinyl LPs Any idea what he likes? Personally, I wouldn't want someone to spend a bunch of money buying me new records that I might not like - for their sake as much as for mine. Or failing that, maybe offer to fund $x of discogs.com purchases? If you stick ... | |
| MONO Cartridge Stylus Shape: WHAT? WHEN? I want to be in the Will of anyone who pays $2,250. for a Mono Cartridge. I paid a mere $1,765CDN +15% tax for a Cadenza Mono, so I don't meet your criteria. I'll tell the lawyer to cross you off the list. 😉 | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? If I thought someone’s system sounded "piercing" I’d be well-mannered enough, I hope, to hide my opinion. Imagine your friend prefers the warmest and richest of cartridges, even at the expense of detail. He persuades you to replace your "piercing"... | |
| Ortofon Kontrapunkt C vs. Cadenza Bronze I was just sent a video from Steve, so I thought I'd share: https://youtu.be/9klmK0h83Nc |
