| Best cartridge for a Schroeder Model 2 I know the XX-2 pretty well and I would say the Delos is an improvement over the XX-2 in every way. Lyra willl give you a bit brighter top end compared to the XX-2 which may or may not be desired.On the other hand if you like the Koetsu sound, I w... | |
| Best cartridge for a Schroeder Model 2 Do you have the Pertinax armwand or Carbon wand? Also, do you have the brass headshell available? That one adds some effective mass.I am running a Allaerts MC1B and a Lyra Delos (backup) in mine (with Pertinax wand and Brass headshell for Allaerts... | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers You could also consider the Pass First Watt F5 or J2. | |
| For those of you who have Piega speakers... Sorry for the sparse negative response above - that was not really justified. My personal choice is really not for ribbon tweeters overall, as I can alway detect a lack of coherence (in terms of detail, texture, imaging) across the crossover regio... | |
| For those of you who have Piega speakers... What gear were they allergic to and why?What gear: My EarsWhy: Ribbon tweeter, metal enclosure. | |
| Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K. One note though, rereading the original post - the DPS is not really for tinkering. Even the isolation platform and isolation mat are provided and already optimized. If you enjoy tinkering, get a Verdier or Galibier, experiment with different arms... | |
| Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K. I can add to the recommendations for the DPS3 - I have owned mine for close to three years now. I usually have the chance to listen and setup many turntables (e.g. Verdier, Raven AC, several VPIs) and never felt like I should consider switching at... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' With "load" I meant the internal impedance of the cartridge. The step-up that is built into the Shindo is optimized for low impedance cartridges 2-6Ohm is about ideal. Some higher impedance ones may still work but it may become worth experimenting... | |
| Lyra 'house sound' Are you planning on running the cartridge directly into your Giscours? The Delos worked well with my Monbrison, the Lyra Argo did not work at all. The step-up in the Monbrison has been optimized for a very low load (SPU or Miyabi). | |
| Bryston BDA-1 used V/S Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 Both the Peachtree Nova and the Benchmark do not have exactly what I would consider "good" USB inputs. The Benchmark is better than what Bryston implemented, but still far away from the async USB configurations of the Ayre, Wanvelength, Wyred, or ... | |
| Benchmark Dac-1 into Naim Nait 5i? The Wyred 4 sound DAC2 would work really well with Naim - very dynamic and lively DAC. Having heard both, I think the Wyred is a bit better than the Benchmark in terms of resolution, extension, bass control, and dynamics. | |
| Bryston BDA-1 used V/S Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 I ask because the W4S DAC2 has asynchronous USB and the BDA-1 does not. Many thanks.Also the Bryston limits USB to 16/44.1 resolution; not sure why any reputable manufacturer would include a severely compromised USB input in their product. Better... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? I would take a Lyra Delos over the Dynavectors and Benz by a large margin. The Delos has a much higher resolution, more detail, more dynamics and energy, and presents instruments and voices with much more realism. The XX2 is veiled and laid back b... | |
