| Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge? The Ethos is good value for money. It has a good balance of resolving details but still being musical. I use it to listen to Classical Violin Music and Mainstream. It will not have the resolving power, dynamics and depth of stage like a Lyra Kleo... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING I have been using Lyra Delos and Kleos over the last decade to my entire satisfaction. They were my favourite cartridges. 1 year ago I bought a new turntable / tonearm combination. Unfortunately I could not get the Kleos to perform in the new setu... | |
| Best Cartridge for SME309 arm I am using Benz Gullwing SLR on SME 309 with nearly the same specs as the Ruby. Very good match indeed. You can’t go wrong. It replaced a Lyra Kleos which is a good Cartridge but with less body and drive, more analytical. Would be interested how t... | |
| DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2 I am using Benchmark DAC-3. Highly recommended. Roon will give it another boost. | |
| turntable recommendations The Luxman PD-151 would be within your budget. I own the PD-171a, big jump over the Rega. Very good and practical tonearm. Super build quality. And of course the looks.Highly recommended. | |
| Vinyl collection, now what? If you go the Rega P8 way i would combine it with a Rega Apheta cartridge and a Rega Aria phonostage. It will give you a good SQ for the investment.In my opinion this is the minimum analog setup for good recordings if you want to preserve the SQ.... | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing On a sidenote:It seems that there is a common understanding in the SME community and among dealers that the SME Van den Hul tonearm cables are a weak spot and need upgrading.I run a test yesterday of a VdH MC D501 Silver Hybrid agains a Furutech A... | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing Great contributions!Response of the producer: no need for service - only if problems.Response of SME tonearm specialist: No need for maintenace - only repair when needed. | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing All i can say is that it is floating if the Anti Skating force is set to Zero. That should be a good sign in regard to the bearings. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire - Amplifier matching The end of the story is that I treated myself to a AVM A6.2 integrated amplifier which delivers 225W into 8 Ohms and 400W into 4 Ohms. Eventhough it has the same size trafo with 1000 VA, it sounds much more powerful, goes deeper and just sounds i... | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing Probably the best way is to ask SME. Checking the bearings i not a bad idea. Will post the recomendation. | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing Which parts did you service? | |
| Looking to upgrade to Class A/B Integrated DAC Amp Have a look at the AVM A6.3 or 8.3. Outstanding products, outstanding quality. | |
| Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC I use Rega Aria in my Rega setup. No wish to change. | |
| NAIM SN3 enough juice for the new Dyn Contour 60i?olks I have Dynaudio Sapphires and was told Dynaudio speakers need a lot of power to sing. I did not believe it until i hooked them up my new AVM A6.2. I don‘t think that the SN 3 will be able to drive the Contour 60i to its potential. I would look at ... |
