| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Dear @drbond : The best anecdotal is the one you have and due that you ask for the VIV that's an inexpensive tonearm why don't pull the triguer to buy it and then compare against your Reed/Schroeder and latter on return to your thread to share yo... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Dear @whart : " where I come out is that most people rely on anecdotals (or reviews?) based on cartridge and arm since as was pointed out early on, it’s pretty hard to evaluate different tone arms in isolation. " The real problem ( other that... | |

| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @billstevenson : my advise this time to rewire not only your tonearms but any tonearm is using the silver Audio Note UK dedicated for tonearm rewiring or you can pay way more using the Audio Note Kondo ( Japan ).

| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @whart : " But I think there is a level of masochism here that used to appeal to me. " That’s what mentioned inmy last post but I said it in different way and NO it’s not masochism. Masochism is different, is " something " that we know is wr... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Dear @mijostyn @lewm : Always exist trade-offs/compromises even with pivoted straigth headshells. Simplicity in pivot headshell overhang/offset is an " advantage " over LT pivoted designs or just LT because in any LT exist more resonances/disto... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Dear @drbond: I forgot that I owned the Koetsu tonearm ( really good tonearm. ), the Lustre GST-801 that along the Micro Seiki ( I owned. ) MAX maybe are near the best ever and owned too Ikeda tonearms.

| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @viridian That 10cu was measured as all japanese cartridges at 100hz so at 10hz means over 15cu. Btw, I owned that Onyx and the Black and Rosewood too. I think that my first MC was the Denon 103 with 5cu that means over 8cu and my tonearm in tho... | |

I listened to both MSL instead AT and the Blue Lace and are really different performers. I can see that you li... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Dear @drbond : Even today there are only a few audiophiles with knowledge level on the " fine/critical points " in tonearms design, few know what to look for and that’s why not only in this forum but in other audio forums the tonearm comparisons ... | |
