| Nordost Tyr vs Audience Au24e I have never heard Nordost, however, I used to own Cardas Golden Reference and Audience AU24, and auditioned the AU24e in my system. I never found the Golden Ref rolled at the top. I too enjoyed its timbre, but also found its imaging/soundstaging ... | |
| Any real performace difference between SME 4 and 5 I've owned both the SME V and IV.Vi tonearms, but had the V when it used to be wired with Vdh copper and not the Vdh mono crystal silver which it is currently wired with.

But, that's exactly where I stand with Jdaniel, es... | |

| TW-Acustic Arm Thanks for your responses, Audioblazer. I too am currently using the Dynavector XV-1S, but with the SME IV.Vi arm, with which there is a tight fit as well. The issue is mainly with the depth of the XV-1S cartridge...but...it does work. If I do dec... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm It's been almost a year since the last post from Paul. Having just acquired the Raven One, I'm looking at either the TW Acustic 10.5 or Reed tonearm to go with it. Previously in this thread Audioblazer indicated he owned both of these arms. I woul... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? "I wanted to audition a rather expensive pair of speakers that were not available in my area. I contacted the manufacturer (from his own website) to ask where I could go to audition and purchase these--but no response." Dat1...Moving to a smaller ... | |
