| Lyra or ZYX ? Doug, there is a ZYX RS30-02 on sale for $500. This is a mouth watering price provided this cartridge is as good as current ZYX cartridges are. Do you have any idea about them ? | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? Update: I bought the RCM Sensor Prelude phonostage. Now for the cartridge, oscillating between ZYX R50 Bloom and Ortofon Kontrapunkt H. | |
| DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777 I have heard the AMR and Ayon players. I have owned Reimyo for quite some time. One day I heard a Naim and everything fell into place. It has the best of the resolution, dynamics, tone and PRAT. It sounds high definition but in a very natural way,... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Syntax, FR64 has an effective mass of 35g. Will it work with cartridge like ZYX and Lyra ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Interesting reply :-). So you found the 47 labs tonearm too funny to try ! Anyway, Syntax, frankly I dont have the bandwidth to spend $5k on a tonearm. I suppose the kind of serious tonearms you are talking about are all $4k+, correct me if I am w... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Syntax, you say that the SME 3012 was made for super soft carts but it has a effective mass of 14 grams, will that accomodate a high compliance cartridge like the Shure or Empire (compliance above 25) ? | |
| Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube WOW !! | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Syntax, I was looking at a 47 Labs RS-A1 arm. It is affordable and quite well appreciated. Do you have any opinions about it ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Thank you guys. Thats a lot of useful information to chew upon. Could I ask what would be a good compliance number to be considered "high" ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Doug and Syntax, I like your suggestions and can see very reasonable logic behind. But, are we not taking extreme cases into this equation. $100 tonearm with $4k cartridge is good for illustration but am I in that situation ? My tonearm is an SME ... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Doug, you say that my 14g effective mass tonearm is just about okay but 18g should have been better for ZYX yatra. Can I choose the ZYX with their additional silver headshell weight to increase the effective mass ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Dover, what is it about 3012 that you dont like ? Or say what can I expect the Phantom to do more ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Doug, what is your opinion about Lyra vs ZYX ? Since you are so exhaustively into analog I would guess you have heard some Lyras also ? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Doug, mine is the older generation SME 3012 Series2, not the new gen SME 312. You mention that with a heavy tonearm the ZYX yatra can rock. Do you think my tonearm fulfils that criteria ? It will be interesting to hear from you what you think abou... | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? Photon46, I contacted Mehran for the RCM phonostage. He indeed has one demo set for sale. But he is reluctant to sell it to me because he says there is already an RCM dealer in Singapore so I should buy from him. I would like to talk to you over e... |
