| Your "eureka" analog moment When I heard a Garrard 301 with Gray Research 208 tonearm! I am yet to hear a combination that plays music with such rhythm and passion. | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 The current Jelco made Ortofon tonearms all have a sweet sound. They are not the most dynamic or exciting sounding arms but they sound smooth and sweet which on a relatively raw and propulsive idler TT is a good combo. The new age SME M2 series to... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme How important is the Keel in the order of upgrade ? | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 I have been using the SME M2-12. Previously I had used the 3012 S2 (not 3012R). The M2-12 is a much more superior tonearm compared to the regular 3012. The M2-12 has a much higher dynamic range and resolution. It actually mates rightfully with the... | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 I wonder how the Schick performs on regular modern cartridges like the Lyra and Ortofons (non-SPU). Do they only work with the likes of 103 and SPU ? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... It is currently my favorite and I see no reason to pay more for anything else, even though I could afford it.Exactly, this balancing act seems so elusive and most manufacturers/designers of most audio gears just do not get it, hence they depend up... | |

| Swiss amps. Worth the price? Talking about swiss gears without mentioning FM Acoustics ? It is after all the creme de la creme of all Swiss Audio brands. It is at a level where people dont even talk about it besides names like Dartzeel :-). | |
| New ZYX Premium cartridge line All ZYX carts do great soundstage, air, seperation, bass and speed. I am yet to hear one which has the midrange presence and palpability to match. I have seldom read or heard a ZYX owner talking about how good the mids are, just an indication! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I may not be able to give an exact answer to your question, but I have some experiences to share.I have owned the Dynavector 17D3 for some time. It is considered to be very dynamic and fast because of its short diamond cantilever. In my system it ... | |
| Proac response One SC or Proac response D15?? Here is a thread that may give you some more insightshttp://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?11158-ProAc-Response-1sc-and-D15-Comparison | |
| Proac response One SC or Proac response D15?? D15 is an amazing speaker. Go for it. It wont overload your room but you will hear a level of open-ness and transparency that the response sc is not capable of. D15 is a different class. | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature Rega to a VPI is more of a change of taste rather than an upgrade. Check out funk firm turntables. I have heard them in action, they sound outstanding! They have the speed and agility of the Rega and soundstage lushness + bass of VPI. They look si... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Here are some measurements of ART-9. I got it from Audio Technica:http://wikisend.com/download/182928/AT-ART9.pdf | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? When you talk about speed, check out the Japanese tube amps. Leben, Air Tight, Zanden to name a few. They are expensive though. Another brand which has great rhythm and dynamics is Trafomatic Audio. They dont sacrifice resolution or tonality but t... |
