| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas look at that. you wrote a whole post addressed to me without once saying my opinions, gear or process is flawed. so it is possible. i have no problem with anyone’s writing skills and respect that English is your second language. th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas sorry, but considering my feelings, and your apparent concern that i am not happy, your post above is just more of the same negative ranting. you continue to try to demonstrate that my opinions are flawed. From there you conclude... | |
| What is Your End Game System? my end game system = where i want to be. and i’m close right now. you can view my system page https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615 although the pics and descriptions are not entirely up to date. the turntables are correct, but not the arms a... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? btw, it’s possible to split hairs and also respect listening perspectives. but here it does not commonly happen. the hair splitting gets focused on attacking the listening opinion credibility, especially at higher priced gear. the balance is a for... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? i guess one man’s perspective of listening opinions not being respected, is another man’s delight over splitting hairs over hifi equipment. so time for me to go fishing. or......be where my listening opinions are more respected. the balance here ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas I was banned not only one but twice from that forum now i remember why i should not post here or attempt to interact with you. note to self; don't take the bait again.🙄 | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @dover over the years i’ve had multiple phono cables through my system; currently i have three other ’basic’ phono din<->rca’s i have swapped in and out. over the 3 years i’ve tried various versions of the LFD including the Dongle/Raptor r... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? if you want to learn about the theory behind the ’zeel’ 50 ohm cable interface, here is a paper published in the September 2001 issue of Stereophile by Herve Delatraz (manufacturer/designer of darTZeel), describing ’echo’s in conventional cable in... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mijostyn i use the proprietary darTZeel 50ohm BNC ’zeel’ interface for my long runs (one 8 meter, the other 11 meter) in my system. properly executed, even better than balanced. a one meter 50 ohm cable sounds the same as a .5 kilometer of 50 o... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @atmasphere thanks. can’t argue with any of that. balanced circuits and cables have their advantages. my issue was more @mijostyn ’s comment ’only way to go’. it's just not.....the....only....way | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? ok, Raul. i'm sure you have things exactly right. sorry to have not measured up to your expectations. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? just curious. where did modified cartridges come into this thread? what are people referring to with that idea? i missed it evidently. if the manufacturer made it as a product, are we still referring it to be modified? | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @atmasphere yada, yada, yada. your love affair with balanced circuits is legendary. are you wrong about them? no. are balanced circuits the ’main thing’ about how circuits might perform? no. balanced circuits = one advantage....but not the who... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? yes; the EMIA phono corrector + MC Trio is a package deal; which then can be compared directly with the two high gain internal phono’s inside the darTZeel preamp. the dart phono’s are very good; overall i prefer the EMIA approach. but then i migh... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? fundamentally using an SUT potentially brings a musical touch, inner artistic view and envelopment that high gain phono preamps such as the darTZeel can’t quite do in the same way. this effect varies with actual execution of the phono and SUT. my... |
