| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Thanks for the update @audiofun Would you say that 103.3 is a great option if one wants to buy a serious $2k cartridge ?Which phonostage do you use primarily ? | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? I use a basic Denon 103r for checking the tone and timbre of my system. If my system sounds fine (tonally balanced and musically right) with the 103/103r then I proceed to change carts or cables to take it to the next level. In that respect the De... | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? The Delos is tonally colored. The Helikon was tonally more accurate. I can’t talk about other Lyras though. | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? @tzh21y which phono stage are you using ? | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? Delos is tipped up in HF, no two ways about it. Benz is tipped down. The relatively less voiced carts are typically Ortofon, Shelter and EMT to name a few. A shelter 901 mk2, EMT TSD-15 Sfl or Ortofon Cadenza Blue are all very good carts without m... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G Gyro SE, SL-1200G, and SME Model 10 are probably the best current turntables under $10K.Thats an overstatement IMO. $10k is a serious budget. There are many great sounding TTs for that kind of money. Consider the likes of Kuzma Stabi Reference, Re... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) There are now videos on youtube playing music on SP-10r | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo If you can pull it off, get the Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL 2.0 preamp with the linear PSU option. It will be little more than your $1k budget but it is as good as any $20k preamp out there. I have just replaced my $18k Audio Note preamp with this... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) BTW, I did guess that SP-10r would be priced within $10k (for the motor only as there was no mention of the plinth at that time) :-D | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) @audiofun, I too share your concern about SMPS in audio. I have sent my 1200G to time-step audio to get their linear PSU fitted.Regarding the Berning PSU, I have had few conversations with Berning about it since I have been considering his amp too... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G The ART9 has a fuller presentation and perhaps better channel separation.A cart being fuller as well as having better separation is a good thing IMO, especially when it is an MC cart. I will be more interested if ART9 and Delos have similar dynami... | |
| Technics SL1200G vs GAE Thanks guys for your responses. I have ordered a Technics 1200G and have sent it to time-step for their EVoke modification (except the SME 4 tonearm). Primarily they will change the SMPS power supply to a linear PSU that they have designed. Also t... | |
| Technics SL1200G vs GAE I will be send it to time-step to fix their linear power supply and upgrade the tonearm (if I change the tonearm). | |
| Technics SL1200G vs GAE I was fancying putting something like a Fidelity Research Fr64s or a Reed the 1200G. | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? @kosst_amojan, have you heard the J2 or F6 ? I am using a Tannoy Turnberry which is 93db efficient. Not really very efficient but still happy with 20 watts SET. The question is, will the J2 sound too relaxed compared to F6 ? |
