| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Smoffatt,i've not heard the Atlas, neither do i have a feel for the Phantom II compared to the Supreme.i do think strongly that getting the best tonearm is highest on my list as an overall system building approach. and the Talea 2 would likely end... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Mike, how does the Anna compare to the A90?this is an Atlas thread. you can read this post and following posts from my system page speaking to your question. | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 MikeYou are obviously right about the Telos. My intent was not to belittle a great arm, but a narrow and somewhat theoretical curiosity :if this is soo good,can it /does it get any better than this? Fortunately I may never find out as I don't have... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 congrats on the Atlas. i hope to hear one soon.From everything i have read I am sure that the Telos is a better arm. But at this level, I suspect, the improvements are miniscule. Telos owners will rightly disagree.the Talea 2 is a fantastic arm. i... | |
| Record cleaning fluids i also like the AIVS multi-step cleaner method as the best i've tried. i especially like the Ultra clean water rinse as a final step.having an RCM that allows for different types of cleaners i think is a good thing. i've gone from having only a on... | |
| Talea Arm: What cartridges are best? hi David,congrats on the Talea 1, it is a great arm.i owned the Talea 1 for over 2 years and had maybe 5-6 cartridges on it.....including the A90, Lyra Olympos SL, Azden YM-P50VL, Miyajima Premium Be mono and others....i've also heard the Talea 1 ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? The Loricraft is a cheap copy from the Monks.Syntax,does this go for the current production run of the Monks with the Son in charge, or just the vintage Monks? and do you know if there are performance consquences related to the different build qua... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? Peter and David,maybe it's between my ears about the cleaning speed being faster. i never had the PRC3 and PRC4 Dlx at the same time. there was 2 years between those 2 with just the Audio Desk. it just seems quite a bit faster with the PRC4......a... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? i had the PRC-3 and now have the PRC-4 Dlx. in between i purchased an Audio Desk Systeme RCM which is automatic. i puchased the PRC-4 Dlx because the Audio Desk machine does not handle thin pressings very well and also does not do as good a job in... | |
| Sirius and Walker Unoear has twice in the last 10 days referred to the Olympos cartridge he purchased from me with the Rockport and made a point that i crashed it on the Rockport. 01-24-12: UnoearYes, the Olympos shootout never came to pass...wonderful cartridge, j... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Cousinbilly,not all 12" tonearms are created equal; but like they say, size does matter. :^)and FYI both the Talea 1 and Talea 2 are 10.5" arms, not 9.5". | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Pentatonia,just over three short years ago, Joel Durand was an audiophile doing a DIY project of building a tonearm from scratch on a whim. he documented each step thru that process on a personal website/blog which at one point i looked thru. he t... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? hi Lew,i've not heard Pete Riggle's arm; but it has been recommended to me. i understand Pete lives east of the mountains here in Washington State.i think that the Telos has something in common with other minimalist-out-of-box thinking tonearm des... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? i like to use the term 'prefer' or favorite as opposed to best.i have not heard all Unipivots, but i've owned a fair number of tonearms and listened to most arms out there. my favorite is the Durand 12" Telos. which is also my favorite tonearm of ... | |
