| TriPlanar Tips Paperw8 , Since it takes so little time (less than the duration of a cut on an LP), remove the trough and try a practical observation. It's pretty simple to do. It certainly takes less time than the posting that has been done. Who knows? Your Lyra... | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 Of these two cartridges specifically, I'd suggest the A90 would be the preferred choice. This is based on time with both cartridges and looking at the other components in your system. My opinion, which is all it is, is to give a preference for the... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths The Monaco is a very well designed and executed turntable. I've setup two of these tables in very familiar systems with same cart/arm/phonostage/pre/amp/speakers. The table's performance is consistent and predictable. Less than a year ago, I put a... | |

| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm The Vector IV only comes with the single terminated run of cable from cartridge clip to phonostage plug. There is no opportunity to "tune" the phono cartridge-to-phonostage interface with other cables. You have to look elsewhere in the system to m... | |
| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm Jebsmith73,I can understand your comment. Besides hearing the cartridge acoustically sing, do you have any issue when listening to music? Is the music lacking in some way?Just an FYI: Some cartridges sing in the groove by design no matter what ton... | |
| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm I have set up both on the same table a Basis Debut Vacuum. As I type, I'm staring at a Debut vacuum right now with a Vector arm on it sitting in my listening room. I also have a close friend with the same cartridge and phonostage I use that has a ... | |
| Changing from an XV1-S "... years in the hobby and business has taught me the latest is not always the greatest"Well said Bill.Usually I stay out of threads that venture of into personal preferences because its mostly a lost cause in that everyone is entitled to their ... | |
| Is the Basis 2001 a solid enough table to keep. The signature versions (2001) carry even tighter tolerances. The 2001 non-signature versions can be upgraded to signature status although it can get expensive to do this.The 2200 is only available as a signature unit. There is no non-signature ver... | |

| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Clabe,It doesn't matter. You are fine. Your Breuer 8C tonearm has slots in the headshell to allow you to get the correct effective length for the Delos.You don't need another Mint LP Protractor.Just leave the arm alone (don't change pivot-to-spind... | |
