| re-tipping Dynavector17D? If a well thrashed 26 year old Dynavector 17D2 is offering a similar level of performance to the Delos, then the 17D3 & 17DX would trounce it.You should just go and buy the new 17DX - its a significant step up from the old D2. well informed me... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration I agree with Raul & Atmosphere aboveThe Triplanar you will need to check the arm clears the suspension tower right hand back corner.SME V is a natural partner and is excellent with the DynavectorI have recently installed a Kuzma 4point and was... | |
| Choice of Phono Cartridges Given the quality of your amps/speakers and size of record collection, I personally think you would get more enjoyment from your records by upgrading the whole turntable.There are some great deals out there at the moment - for example Music Direct... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... Air Tight PC1Original Price - $2000Price 3 months later after TAS Review - $4000Price then rose to $10000 over a short period of time ( happened to conincide with the release of the dumbed down versions PC7 etc that are still more expensive than t... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm @vortrex I have heard the Air Tight PC7 on a very good front end - $60k worth - muddled in the mids. CAR50 in my experience far more resolution, more coherent. Can only assume it didn't match your system. | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm @hamburger Hi, Have installed CAR50 Kuzma 4Ppoint on the Kuzma 4Point, and can report back.Previous cartridge on arm was the Van Den Hul Colibri Black Grenadine.To give you some background I have set up the Colibri in 3 tonearms in the same system... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 @halcro Victor - it appears smoother here than my sample. On my system the Victor seems technicolored, as in false sharpness - oversatuated you might say if you were a photographer. On your demo it is easier to listen to. What I mean by coloured i... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Observations -Victor XI - enoyable to listen to but horribly coloured. Enjoyment wears off rapidly due to the colourations.Sony XL88D - wondered why it sounded so grainy, then I went to the start and confirmed Victor/SAEC combo. Sorry Halcro - thi... | |
| SUT to MM cable? what should i get? cable mis-match @lohanimal Given that nandric appears to have not experienced an Entre ET100, then his opinion is speculation at best.The Fidelity Research step up transformers I have experienced, including the top non switched ones with their matched FR cartridg... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm @hamburger I can confirm I will be installing the CAR50 on the latest Kuzma 4Point early next week - will be able to let you know how that compares to the CAR40 & VDH Colibri. | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm @rossb Thats great info - comparing the Phasemation/Colibri/Dynavector XV, which is the most revolving ? I’ve listened to the Colibri a lot, with multiple arms, but not the others. | |
| Catridge for sme 30/2 Cartridge set up on the SME 30/2 is very easy if you follow the instructions in the manual and use the supplied protractor. Probably one of the easiest systems around. You simply bolt the cartridge into the holes, level the cartridge and then adju... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm If you can wait for a week or so I am about to mount a CAR50 on the latest version of the Kuzma 4Point. The arm currently has a van den hul Colibri on it, and I have heard the CAR40 on it previously, which I thought was good value for money. I wil... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma You can run either alignment, Stevenson or Baerwald, at either P2S. The only issue is cartridges with an integrated headshell like the FR7 because you cant alter their angle in the shell.Furthermore, because the FR64S does not have offset bearings... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma @karl_desch No - the problem is that cartridges do not have a standard distance between stylus tip and mounting holes. Similarly headshells vary in their length and postion on holes/slots. So when you push the P2S out you will get this problem fro... |
