DYNAVECTOR XV1T - XV-1T VTF ??
XV1T sounds quite different than the other dynavector carts. IMHO, it is better than the other ones in the line up.I have a XV1T among others and I think very highly of it. I initially set VTF at 2.0g when it was new. Now I set VTF at approx 1.9g....

Thuchan,Nice to see your post.From your website, I see you are using the VPI drive system on the MS table. Can you elaborate on the differences betw the VPI drive and MS drive?ThanksBest regards 
Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions
Bankupu,When taking the channel separation measurement, use 1 Khz notch filter to discount the noise generated at other frequencies ( vibration from table, motor and footfall.) These will falsely decrease the maximum channel separation achieved. H... 
Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions
Banpuku-22db channel separation is quite compromised. I would check the following.1. Alignment: Poor alignment would reduce channel separation due to suboptimal contact betw stylus and groove. If you have the template, try different curves; steven...

Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions
I previously owned the Kleos and still have the Atlas and the Titan i. I am no expert but I hope to share my experience. If your results differ, we can learn together. There are many different strategies amoung audiogoners so try to see what get y...

beethoven piano concerto
Thanks guys. So far my fav are No 4 and No 1. Re Alfred Brendel set, it seems to be recorded out of phase. I switched polarity and the sound is more focused. Highs and lows are more defined and instruments are more easily localized. I am also expe... 
Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna?
The low gain was a hair quieter background for me. I usually run high gain as low gain puts the preamp close to unity gain for the quieter recordings. The GF statement may be great as well, just I have not listened to one. The earlier versions are... 
Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna?
I tried to respond but the post did not make it.In short, the Lyra Atlas is a great match to the ARC phono 2 or 2se which I have. My listening taste is similar to yours mostly classical and jazz. I have tried many carts and the Atlas is the best o... 
Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna?
The Atlas paired with ARC ref2(SE) was the best sound I have made out of my system. I currently have the titan i, vdh xgp ref mk2, dyna xv1t. Previously had the airtight PC1, my sonic lab ultraeminent, koetsu coralstone. Briefly tried PC1 supreme ...
