| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere thanks for the advice. Earlier I thought “atmasphere is lucky to have dodged this exercise”. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegasI just found out you have a very highly resolving relatively expensive system that can justify spending $ for optimization. Get your cartridges optimize- get/hire a knowledgable cartridge optimization professional (maybe a seasoned dea... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegasI was simply defining “optimum” cartridge setup means getting the stylus angles correct. There are many roads on how to get there, I’m still learning how but I listed some methods/tools that I need to further explore as mentioned in my... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegas You could have simply Googled “turntable cartridge cantilever” then look at the illustrations/pics, but I’ll try to explain in words. Generally, turntable cartridge is constructed with body (shell), coils, magnets, suspension (for can... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegas “i can add that almost everyone knows that it's the cantilever/stylus the ones that be align in the protractor.“I think you missed my pointFirst, it appears you’re confusing cartridge cantilever with tonearm. Second, I’m referring to... | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? “Should a reference speaker be neutral..”At first glance, I get what the OP was asking. But upon deeper scrutiny, the exercise seems a bit ludicrous. And at some level, it’s like finding a solution to a problem when a problem doesn’t exist.- The O... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry The idea behind the Hana is to use the knowledge/experience of well seasoned high-end cartridge engineers, coupled with quality ready available parts to keep costs down. This recipe has been a huge success. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry There are a great sounding cartridges mentioned in the thread, but the price/performance of the Hana line is tough to beat. That’s why they sell so many of them while garnishing many positive reviews. The Hana assembly line is shared by far more... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry I fail to understand the purpose of ranking components by value. I see often contentious posts: Cartridge vs cartridge setup Cartridge vs cartridge+tonearmEverything in the audio chain matters. Do cartridges sound different? Yes Is a subpar cartri... | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? my broken speaker sounds pretty neutral | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Our audio acuity is much more complex than the current science can define.It can be easily empirically and consistency proven that cables measuring the same usually sound different. Also, we don’t buy cables based on measurements, rather, we buy t... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? While there’s been a few practical advice posts regarding the OP, there’s been much debate on the morality aspect. Although many valid points were made, I think the expectations are unrealistic and focus is wrong/unhealthy.Seller risk is a fact.My... | |

| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? While most seem to say that vinyl sounds better than digital, digital also can sound great. Digital also offers the following advantages:- cheaper price of admission- cheaper media- more available media- much more available songs, albums- purchase... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? If you want an “analog” sounding DAC, I don’t think you can for $1500. The Prima Luna EVO 100 Tube DAC Is $3k. The Halo Audio May DAC starts at $4k. You may like the Halo Audio Spring DAC which starts at $1.7k. The other DACs suggested sound great... |
