| Dynavector DV-507 Mk II ? Lew: Grandezza Rank #1 for bling but not for sonics or ease of use IMHO. I am not into bling so I prefer the Reed if I need a wood armwand | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra Melbguy, I am glad your experience is different. I was later disappointed again by their 1008 phono. | |
| Dynavector DV-507 Mk II ? I had the 12" version. Clumsy VTA adjustment, no azimuth adjustment. Rich midrange but slow bass. I hope their 9 and 10 inch versions are better. | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra Owned multiple Avalon speakers. Tried many amps. Boulder 1060 had good bass and macro-dynamics but lack micro dynamics and detail. Ayre MXR was pretty good depending on your taste. I find ayre mostly satisfying but transient attack was slightly hy... | |
| Dynavector DV-507 Mk II ? I have had the 507mk2 along with Graham Phantoms, Reed, Centroid, Davinci Grandezza, TW caustics 10.5 and others. It is one of my favorite. The arm dissipate cartridge resonance extremely well and it is very dynamic in the bass (probably low verti... | |

| Avalon Opus Ceramique Ceramique very limited in bass extension. Suitable for small rooms with construction material that traps bass energy (concrete). Bass is insufficient for medium size room. May work if listening position has large bass modes (e.g. chair close to wa... | |
| Anti-skating- test records vs. ears Antiskate is used to counteract skating force which varies across the record surface from outside to inside in nonlinear fashion. Skating force is a function of groove friction, stylus shape, tracking error (impacted by alignment choice), record s... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Jeff Rowland 201 and later the 312. Rave reviews in US and Asia. | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Read the article " Room with no boundaries" and if that peak your interests, Master Handbook of Room Acoustics.Early reflection from nearby boundaries arrive early in time and high in intensity. Those are the clues that we are in a small space.Use... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Reynolds: Yes. I am a cyclist as well but not a good one (3W/kg/hr). I have a Rikulau ( no name TW brand) with Reynolds 931 tubings. Also have the usual carbon fiber latest and greatest. Sorry for the hijecking the thread."I always want to win", "... | |
