| Good Direct Drives 1200G tonearm is very good, but it's not amazing. Far from it.If one wants an amazing tonearm, SME should be at the top of the list from current manufacturers.There are also some great vintage tonearms from Micro Seiki, etc. | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 @chakster It's typical audiophile human nature. Not being able to afford or not willing to spend a lot of money. Read countless meaningless forum posts. Convince oneself that one is getting a giant killer for a fraction of the cost. Realization hi... | |
| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions It’s a very good sounding cartridge. But for a NOS, you can get a lot of money on eBay. And then buy a 2M Black, which is a better sounding cartridge :) | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? Lyra and other MCs don't dig up more detail. They just over exaggerate what other cartridges don't. It's false information. But to a casual listener, it may seem like a revelation. | |
| Has a component ever changed your focus? I've been using multiple 2M Blacks on every tonearm, turntable, system I own and owned over the past several years. Your description of its sound character couldn't be further from what I'm hearing and from everyone else who has one that I know.Pr... | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? I'll take ART9 over any Lyra. I also like van den Hul cartridges. But MC is yesterday's news. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x IMO, silver is actually better when it comes to tonearm wire because of the low fragile cartridge signal. Tonearms with silver wire sound significantly more alive, dynamic, and louder, but without sounding bright. My favorite wire to use is actual... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Magnesium is the best. SME is the best. That's pretty much that. | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? @tzh21y I did not listen to the 10 nor to the 15. Just blind ordered the 10. What do I have to lose? I'll compare it to my Gyro SE.I did listen to the Model 20 some time ago and it was the best turntable I've ever heard.I'm using SME 309 tonearm. ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Stainless steel is very heavy. Magnesium, Titanium, aluminum are all much better. Why are you guys guys interested in these super high mass tonearms? | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? Maybe you should try an SME turntable? I have an SME Model 10 on the way :) | |
| New Vinyl Rolling Stones mono box. | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? Bright and over exaggerated detailed effects show. Like most modern MC cartridges. Ortofon 2M Black destroys it. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Bowers & Wilkins 803 D3 /thread | |
| Can you help me in my search for my first turntable? The best turntable in your price range would be the SME Model 15. I honestly can't think of anything better. I own a Gyro SE with an SME 309 tonearm and it's also fantastic. But my next table will be either SME 10 or 15. |
