"Harder" cartridge recomendation
Halcro, Syntax..others, can someone please describe the sound signature of these high end FR cartridges ? How do they compare to the current Lyras and ZYX ? Any opinions ? 
"Harder" cartridge recomendation
Bydlo, another cartridge I am seriously considering and think will suit your requirement very well is the Yamamoto YC-03s. Please read about it. You can buy brand new within your budget. 
"Harder" cartridge recomendation
Though it is not my thread if Bydlo doesnt mind, can someone please describe the signature sound of FR7/f/fz carts ? I tried googling for a review but just couldnt find any and these cartridges are very expensive even in the used market so it is n...

By the way, what do you think of the TSD15 super fine line version ? 
"Harder" cartridge recomendation
Cartridge that is fast, has a big sound and better than TSD15 under 1.2k Euros ? I do not know of any modern cart that fits all these criteria, but pleeeese if you do find one, dont forget to post it here on the thread. I will also love to own a c... 
47 Labs RS-A1 tonearm, how to adjust VTA ?

Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?

Calling ATC owners
Dave, two things:1. ATC doesnt have any roll off, hence you will never see anyone calling ATC dull at any frequency. The choice of silk vs metal dome is purely based on what sounds more true to the timbre.2. With ATC one doesnt hear bass, treble, ... 
Calling ATC owners
Sorry, no comparison, the ATC is a lot more natural sounding than the rather hifi-sh sounding Utopias. Moreover once you go active it is closest to the real thing that you can get on reproduced music. You are lucky to have the resources to get so ...
