| Miyabi 47 cartridge: How many hours does it last ? Thanks for the input.From what I remember reading, the Miyabi 47 cart starts to lose the bounce in the music past 1000 hours and it is not exactly the tip which gets worn out as much as the cantilever which loses some of its properties. If that is... | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H Yes, the ZYX has a long life. Good for at least 2000 hours and even more. | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H I have heard the ZYX R100 on Avid Diva and Acutus. I used to own a ZYX RS30-02 low output version and played it on my Verdier extensively on a variety of tonearms. The ZYX are a champ at bass and PRAT but it lacks a certain warmth and sweetness in... | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H On an Avid the ZYX will be too live and revealing for Rock. I would go for Shelter. | |
| Yamamoto YC-03s cartridge - hardly recommended No one has even heard it ? | |
| Graham Phantom1, Kuzma Stogi Ref, Naim ARO Does the equation change if I add the Basis Vector 4 tonearm to the list ? | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? SL-1200 is a great TT to kick start your journey. | |
| Graham Phantom1, Kuzma Stogi Ref, Naim ARO FR64 has always been a mystery to me. Some love it and some dont care about it. I could not find enough internet reviews about it as well to have a clear idea about its sonics. What is it about FR64 ?Otherwise I am leaning towards Rega 1000 or a N... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 Sunnyjim, I know cables are raining in this thread and you will get many more recommendations, and pass this suggestion of mine as yet another. But PLEASE take note, there is a cable called Crimson R.M Musiclink, it is made in UK, this cable has b... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Nothing like it Bydlo. Only if home demo of cartridges was a little more of an accepted norm we audiophiles would have spent so much less time trying out too many of them and could listen to music instead. Great going, let us know how you like the... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Bydlo, I have another recommendation which I believe is safe in terms of compatibility with your arm and meets the sound signature you are looking for and relatively cheaper, the Dynavector 17D3. I have heard it and currently considering it very s... | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 Thanks Geoch for all that information. I am happy to read that you have experience with all the tonearms (3012, conqueror and ARO) we are discussing. I also had Linn Ekos on my mind.Regarding SAEC tonearms, I never thought about it. But now that y... | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 Actually this "makeshift" thing was just an impulsive thought, simply because I could not conjure up a valid list of tonearms which I would truly like to buy as my "main" arm. My requirements are simple but sometimes too much of simplicity is not ... | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 I was thinking about FR64 as well, just that I am unable to get to read about its sonics and cartridge compatibility on the internet. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Hi Doug, for the past few months I am desperately looking to upgrade the drive system of my Verdier. It was originally supplied with a silk thread which was okay but a friend of mine suggested I try 1/4 inch reel to reel tape. The tape immediately... |
