| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul I had a VDH Condor XGM for sometime. As someone has suggested, it has a very etched sound with a typical thin rising high frequency. Not at all to my taste. I had a ZYX and it was much more musical. | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I would like to highlight two things:1. Even though in a TT setup the TT-Tonearm-Cartridge is considered as one system, I am sure there are ways to pin down the sound of at least the TT and the cartridge to a certain extent if one has a decent exp... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic The cartridge on the TW was Ortofon Cadenza Bronze while on Brinkmann was Lyra Delos. | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I have heard the Bardo, Raven One and Raven AC. The Ravens were on the same system while the Bardo was on a completely different system. Both systems were fairly neutral but still not similar sonically. Raven is warmer than Bardo was my general gu... | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used Do you say that the cable from tonearm to phonostage should be terminated with XLR connectors and the phonostage should be a balanced one ? | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used Thanks for a an elaborate discussion on this subject. I just use the Mogami cable in an RCA-RCA format. Am I using it in a balanced way ? There is no XLR connection anywhere in the chain. | |
| Best MC step up transformer For a more reasonable amount, how does the Lundahl LL1943 compare with the likes of the Audio Note, Fidelity Research or Auditorium 23 ? | |
| Linn Akiva or Lyra Skala ? I wonder how a Akiva compares to the more popular Helikon ? | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Isnt Motor controller like the Walker meant mainly for AC motors which cog ? | |
| Linn Akiva or Lyra Skala ? Thanks guys. Leicachamp, I am waiting eagerly to hear from you regarding the Miyabi vs Kleos.Raul, thanks for the valuable input, have you ever tried the Linn tonearm ? How good are they ? | |
| How good is a Mayware formula 4 tonearm ? By the way, I am aware that Audio Note internal wiring is superb I dont think it makes sense to spend so much to rewire a $300 tonearm. | |
| How good is a Mayware formula 4 tonearm ? Oh, it is quite interesting that this "hardly discussed" tonearm plays that well. I know someone who uses a Mayware with a Miyabi 47 cart and refuses to change the tonearm. Miyabi is no way a high compliance cart, still it just works!! | |
| Linn Akiva or Lyra Skala ? Thanks Theo.Kleos is also in my consideration. Can anyone give any comparisons between the Skala and the Kleos ? | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Ct, could you try reel tape ? | |
| Ortofon 309 vs. SME 3012 for SPUs Dover, you are possibly right, most tube phonostages I have heard uses an SUT inside for the first level of amplification. You possibly mean a full tube amplifier phonostage without any SUT, can you please suggest examples that you think are worth... |
