Dear @mijostyn :  +1 ​​​​​​@edgewear who really is lucky with those platinum coils, as he said a collector item.   @lewm you only have to ask J.Allaerts here:  http://www.jallaerts.be/   R.

Dear @fsonicsmith  :  "  sounds so much more life-like.."   Life-like needs or means, at least, dynamic power and natural tone balanced color. This is for me.   Now and due that you own a Colibri that I don't know its " vintage " production be...

Dear @mijostyn ​@jcarr  : Jonathan, you already know that for many years I really have a big respect for you, your products and your knowledge levels.   Now, what you said on Allaerts is true with the MC2 Finish Gold but not with the F!. The " p...

Dear @mijostyn  : No, it's not that I don't like Lyra because I like it and as a fact I own/owned/listened rigth from the first model Evolve, Titan, Kldeos, Olympos, Helikon, Clavis da Capo, etc.   But, I prefer the Allaerts or the low output Co...

Dear @post2338  : You have two other really good cartridge alternatives, one is the Colibri by VDH. I own/owned 4 Colobri samples always looking for the lowest output at around 0.22mv to no higher than 0.35mv. The higher output levels are not reco...

@cleeds  : You are argumentative because more than enhance our knowledge levels you want to " win ".   Who asked by digital/computer alternative? just argumentative.   In the other side I already listen the SG cartridge at least 3 times in 3 d...

Dear @cleeds : " the system is specifically designed for LP playback, whether it is to your taste or not..."   This is not about taste is about facts. When was discussed here in Agon that the strain gauge cartridge did not mimi the inverse RIAA...

Dear @cleeds  : I think you are wrong or have a misunderstood.   This is what PL posted in a thread here years ago:   ""  in my Schroder Reference SG, the new SG design it was +/- 1dB from 50 Hz to 12K ...""   in that limited frequency range... 
Kiseki Purple Heart NS to Dynavector xv-1s ??
Dear @mijostyn  : Both models are very good, its build difference is the titanium " body ".   The t is smoother performer but very good too. I prefer the 1s, it's a little close to the power dynamics of the live MUSIC. I agree with the other gen...

Dear @earthtones  : " has been quite innovative with the Strain Gauge ..." Not really innovative because strain gauge cartridges exist several years ago with designs by Panasonic  ans Sao Win ( between others designers. ) and those vintage design...

Dear @dover ​@drbond  : In that SME review comparison exiast a very important difference that's that the 15A comes with the inferior 309 tonearm but my advise to the OP is to buy the 15 with the V tonearm.   drbond, you still have a very good al...

Dear @edgewear  : "" Comparing new and vintage cartridges in my own system over the years has confirmed the impression that no major sonic breakthroughs have been accomplished over the last 30-40 years of cartridge design. Not by Ortofon and not b... 
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
Dear @drbond  : I think that you don't need to buy that 30/2 when the new 15 with the V tonearm can gives you at least 90% of a new 30/2 quality performance. Now it's a hard call against a new 30/2 but vs a 27 year old 30/2 the call is different ...
