| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Restock = Thanks for your experience of the cello sound. Do you recall the recording ? | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Thanks for getting back - the other two cartridges on my short list are both Dynavectors - the 1-S and the 1-T, the latter at almost twice the price of the former. Are we talking diminishing returns at this point ? Do you know them ?My current car... | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Which Shindo ? I'm considering the Kansui with my Giscours, but .23 is exactly on the edge. I haven't heard it yet, but soon will with the TW 10.5 arm. Do you use the after-pre-amp step-up device ? | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Digital shows the footprints; analog, the walking. | |
| EMI Electrola Pressings seem veiled, Ebm - Why is this so ? Different vinyl recipe - I assume the masters are the same, right ? | |
| EMI Electrola Pressings seem veiled, LOVE the Titan - it is very detailed and the arm is dynamic and lively - quite a nice combo. My pre is the Giscours, amp the Vac Ren 70-70: bass in abundance. A friend is now breaking in the new Lyra Kleos - I can keep you posted.Oh, back to my qu... | |
| Genie in a bottle I just yesterday rediscovered my Genie Bottle. I followed the instructions exactly, except I used an empty 40 oz Bacardi bottle instead of a gin bottle as George suggests. LOL. On the cleaning machine, brushing it on raised a suspicious foam, but ... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' OK - I'm not hearing any forum feedback that would indicate problems with the Kleos / Shindo Giscours, either electrically or aurally. The final and only valid assessment arises from actually hearing the synergy, which I hope to do very very soon.... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' Oh boy, Restock. Yes, the Kleos will go straight in. My current cartridge (Audioquest 7000nsx, born in 1995 - I know, I know) does the job quite nicely - it's .3mV. And I recall the Kleos is .5mv? Why, pray tell, did you have a problem with the Ar... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' I've read that the Phoenix sounds a little 'soft' and that the Orpheus is glary on top, surprising for its price. | |
| Lyra 'house sound' The other cartridge on my really short list is the Shelter 9000, about which I've found precious little feedback. I'll be using the cartridge with a tubed pre-amp and the VAC tubed amp; someone found the Kleos 'heavy' and 'dark' with tubes. The on... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' Thanks for asking. TriPlanar is my current arm; think I'll replace an old VPI Mark something with the Brinkmann Bardo. But the game-changer was the Shindo Giscours which I added last month - it made me re-think my whole analog front end, it's that... | |
| Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics Scissors cut paper, Dan_ed, - sorry bout that. But your opinion nails it because it's based on the kind of music I listen to!! So let's give it on up for Dan anyway. Lyra Titan i then it is - on the TriPlanar/Brinckmann Bardo. Whew ! what a relief... | |
| Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics The cartridge weight/arm mass mismatch of the Dyna XV1 and Tri was pointed out to me twice: once by a dealer and again by an electrical engineer. I want to get the synergy right the first time. Cartridge weight, they both say, should not exceed th... | |
| Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics Heard feedback that the XV1 is too heavy for the TriPlanar and gets ragged up top. 11 grams is about its max. |
