Kimber Select 3033 versus 3035 and 3038
I own the select 3033's and they sound better than my transparent ref xl m cables. More alive and tigger bass It is all relative depending on your overall voicing of your system.

Nice reviews Jazz, Halcro & Genesis. I received mine on Thursday. I said I would be honest and open, so here it is. Halcro, I especially liked your photo's and you gave me the rather obvious position in hindsight to place the led light on the ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Dgarretsonthat is interesting. My data sheet measures out to 50kz then is a straight mountain drop, not 70kz. I would not take much notice about the 47k load on the data sheet, the denon 103r also has a 47k load and I have never heard of anyon... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric. Good to see you got my little bit of dry Aussie. I mentioned the DL-S1 as it does have that neutral tone like the Technics EPC P100C mk4. It is OK to talk about MC's on this thread is it :-) ? The DL-S1 does like a SUT thou, however I am ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dgob Bummer to hear about your EPC-P100C-MK4, a real PITA. Add a tube phono or amp and you will be able to enjoy those MC's a lot more if you run out of MM's. I am quite impressed with the Denon DL-S1 given its cheap entry point of 500-600 odd bu...

Syntax, I agree with Geoch and Raul. I do not see the point with your posting. Anyone with very little skill can position a stylus onto a point, so this kind of misalignment would be rare. Nobody cares about the dennesen tractor misalignmnet vs ... 
Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10
Thuchan, the EA-10 is anything but bright. Sounds like the Silver wire you have transplanted has tilted the sound. Did the silver settle down?

Excellent work T-Bone, you are not just an expert on all that is good with vintage Japanese hifi. Not sure I fully understand the maths, however you look to have proved that from your assumptions, Dert's numbers do provide a better mousetrap tech...

Jazzene yes, that is part correct. see Harry's quote below. Bottom line, Harry is the tonearm designer and I agree with my 12.6 & 7, his alignment overall sounded better that B or L. This is probably no different approach to the designers of t...

Dgob You clearly cannot use the Fiekert - It is part of the "false prophet" scamming hard earned $$ from you. :-)

Dert IMO Raul's green eyed monster and old habits returned just after you indicated your tonearm will go into production June 2011 :>) I am looking forward to see if you have designed a better mousetrap. cheers

Dear Raul I use a $2 Ortofon tractor with my AS-309 and I get zero inner groove tracking issues. I also now use the free Graham alignment jig instead of the Mint LP version. I get better sound from the so-called imprecise Graham jig. Did I waste m...

Hey gentsJust picked up a vintage SS phono stage. Luxman E-06 from Japan 1987. 3 inputs 1x MM & 2xMC and build quality is sensational. see link to page and picture.With all these vintage cartridges sound pretty good, I wondered if electronics ... 
Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage
Onemug How do you find the cj ART3 coupled with the XA100.5's? What did you have before? I have the ART3 and I am happy with my cj prem8a's with teflon caps, however always wondering whether I will gain the additional bass control/slamm without lo...
