| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Andrew: I wish thigs can be so " simple " like what you posted but it is a lot lot more complex than that, even if you try the ame cartridge with two different tonearms IMHO the best you can affirm is that that cartridge match better with one... | |
| Which tonearm should I keep? Dear Rich121: Only for your records: Mr. Hadcock unfortunately pass away in 2007.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Benson139: I don't have any experience with that tonearm but I can't feel " free " and " calm " trying to match that unipivot design with a very low compliance ( 6cu on the IO-M ) cartridge.I understand that Sheu have cartridges made by Benz-... | |
| The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts? Dear Nandric: Yes, fortunately there is progress.SPU: many years ago I owned and change it for other cartridges that ( in that time ) like me more.Last year I had two SPU experiences ( unfortunately not in my system ) and I can't find nothing that... | |
| Lustre GST-801 as 2nd Arm for Raven One? Dear Kenny: I don't have any experience re-wiring a tonearm but for what I read Incognito could be a good choice. Now the headshell wires you can find/buy easy elsewhere and you change by your self.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Atmasphere: Now I understand your statement.The problem with " open " questions ( like this ) is that any one of us speaks of what are our experiences and in our systems and many times we think that the " best " is what we have but in the ton... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Benson: Very good cartridge and demanding on the tonearm due to its special characteristics.My personal advise is that you go for the IKEDA 345 tonearm in its silver wire version or the Audio Note AN-1s, both are tonearm current models.Regard... | |
| Anyone contrast Transfiguration with Allaerts? Dear Ed: Taking in count what you posted I think that the Ruby 2 can be a good choice for you other than the Allaerts MC2 Finish Gold.I'm talking here only on the overall cartridge performance not of what are the needs on arm/phono stage, speciall... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Tom: +++++ " would be more alike than different. " +++++IMHO it is obvious that any two-three top tonearms are more alike ( they are tonearms ) than different but that " different " makes the whole difference, if not every top tonearm can be ... | |
| Anyone contrast Transfiguration with Allaerts? Dear Ebush: As I say system dependent. In my experience the near field sit helps a little but not to much about ( the Glider performance ), other side I prefer the quality cartridge performance with out step-up transformers.Of course that what you... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Atmasphere: +++++ " I think the only rational conclusion is that the two arms are very similar in sound, and that setup likely has more to do with the differences heard than anything else. " +++++I really would like to agree with your stateme... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Dear Downunder: If you have the opportunity to buy it my advise is that you do it fast while is available and before I do it ( ja, ja, ja. )Competitive?, absolutely yes.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| Lustre GST-801 as 2nd Arm for Raven One? Dear Kenny: I forgot, you can/could try your Shilabe using different headshells ( additional to the Lustre one ) that give you different overall cartridge sound " presentation ".This move IMHO it is worth to try it too along better headshell wires... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Dear Benson139: It could help to give you some advise if you can tell us which cartridges do you own or with which one do you want to match that tonearm.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| Lustre GST-801 as 2nd Arm for Raven One? Dear Kennythekey: I agree, worth a listen. My advise is that you try it in both ways static and dynamic balanced ( its natural design .) and make a choice for the best performance, in the static way to set-up the VTF you do it through the tonearm ... |
