SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Dear Hiho: This Sp-10 comes ( from original owner: not me. ) with a square 1" MDF attached to the SP-10 up square plate where ( right side ) the tonearm is mounted, not very orthodox but works fine.Regards and enjoy the music.raul. 
Nagra VPS
Dear hevac1: I respect your point of view but certainly I don't agree with. My comments on the VPS have the same " decorum " that the one over the Atmasphere. If you read carefully what I posted you could understand that I " go " to a more wide le... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Dear Radicalsteve: I dn't doubt on what you posted on the Victor TT-101, I never heard about it but I heard the TT-801 that looks like the Denon DP-80 but with better specs.Now, for those times the SP-10 was only one of the great DD TT: Denon DP-8... 
Nagra VPS
Dear Jazz: ++++ " purity vs cohesion of the system, can we achieve both? " ++++of course, this is one of the name of the game: purity it does not a fight against cohesion, ideally both subjects can live together for enhance our music enjoyment!!!!... 
Nagra VPS
Dear jazz: from the design point of view IMHO the Nagra VPS is far away from Ferrari ( Ferrari is a especialist on car design where Nagra is not on phono stages. ) and like you say that's not the point.Regards adn enjoy the music.Raul. 
Nagra VPS
Dear John: As I posted I know that you like it and there is nothing wrong with that and if your toes were tapping that's very fine for you, I'm not against that.My point of view goes a little " deeper " or better yet is more on what I almost alway... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Dear John and Shane: About mats I'm testing with the SAEC SS-300, Audio technica AT666, Sota Acrylic, Audioquest, a carbon fibre one and a self propietary/design blend materials one.I have to say that with all them I have good performance but with... 
Nagra VPS
Dear friends: As you know there are two threads on almost the same subject. I read with interest both and I can see that the Nagra owners as the people that already heard it are really satisfied ( good thing ) and reading around the Nagra ( in its... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Dear Lewm: Something about the Sp-10 plinth: in the last 10 months I heard at least seven Sp-10s ( MK2/3 ) in different systems and with different plinths with different kind of performances I heard all them with good quality but in no one system ... 
Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL
Dear Tora: As always the quality performance in cartridges is system dependent especially on tonearm and Phonolinepreamp.It is system dependent because every single home audio system is different from others due ( mainly ) to owner priorities that... 
phonocable for dynavector xv-1s
Dear Cincy_bob: Absolutely not.My thoughts about are that the Silver Oval show the Dartzeel frequency deviations and for what you posted it seems to me that the Tricon does not do it, maybe I understand in a wrong way what you posted.I know very w... 
phonocable for dynavector xv-1s
Dear Cincy_bob: I can't argue on The Cable Company impression about because I don't know nothing about their audio systems.Now, for me a neutral audio item is that one that add the less and loose the less to the audio signal. You and me know that ... 
phonocable for dynavector xv-1s
Dear Cincy_bob: +++++ " In my audio systems, the Synergistic Tricon cable is better than the AP Silver Oval cable. The sound of the Tricon cable is more natural, whereas the Analysis Plus cable has just a bit of "hi-fi" sound (subtle treble colora... 
What is your cartridge and tracking force used
Dear friends: Doug is right and bring a subject that is very important on the cartridge quality performance: temperature, we have to take care about.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. 
Musical involvement?
o4rdking: +++++ " What makes a tonearm/cart combo sound less involving? " +++++IMHO a very wide question but between other things: a un-matched cartridge/tonearm, a mis-match.regards and enjoy the music.raul.
