| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Wow,an 18 gram cartridge.Now that WOULD cause me to move away from my "Puny" 2.2,and consider an arm more meaty.Possibly the Herculean looking Phantom,or a beefy wooden Schroeder,or maybe something along the lines of the "NEW" Dynavector 507(which... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? BTW--I forgot to mention that the picture of the two "Spartan Looking" Colibris was a thing of beauty,to me!! | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Doug,if the silver coiled UNIV is not a top performer,and significantly bettered by the copper coiled one,I wonder why it is sold,especially at these prices.Though,in this hobby,nothing really surprises me anymore. Mike,I don't understand why you ... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Mike,having now re-read your compelling observations,I'd like to make a point or two,not that this is any surprise,if you've come to know me. Firstly,thank GOD you were honest,and didn't write a "Suck-UP" thread.As an example,check out the most re... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Doug,As from what "The word on the street",about you(and Paul)IS--You really have picked up on the finer points,in this hobby,fast!!Sort of reminds me of these two little thirteen year old girls,whom I was watching play tennis,last week,in my loca... | |
| Graham Phantom George,you may like your Phantom better than your previous ZETA,BUT you will HAVE to concede that the classic wooden box,that the ZETA came in, is beyond reproach!!I STILL have mine,and it makes a great audio accessories storage facility!!How abou... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Ca2284,sounds like you are on the right track,to good set-up,AND more importantly,learning about critical set-up,which makes a huge difference,in a high res system. I don't want to spoil the party,BUT----You will definitely NOT get the most out of... | |
| Anyone heard the Sota Millenia? Dan,it has nothing to do with the actual sound of live music,which is influenced by hall,acoustics etc.Live is,well,live!!Of course it is the best,but NOT reproduceable!!What I mean is that,as you gain experience,you can notice the little things t... | |
| Anyone heard the Sota Millenia? BTW-Dan,Sometimes the best thing you can do,to aid you,in this hobby(and it will cost you nothing),is to make an attempt to hear a few really good set-ups,that other hobbyists own.Bring some of your own program material to listen in these systems.... | |
| Oracle Turntable and Triplanar VII Thomas,that combo is a fascinating one.I see no reason that it should not work,as long as the correct suspension tension(spring choices?I think?Check with Oracle,here)is used.I believe Gmorris uses a Phantom,on his Oracle(fairly weighty arm,yet se... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? So what do you say to the guy who just bought a 20,000 dollar Rolex,or the guy/gal who blew 50 large,on a new Lexus.Should I tell my future son in law not to spend serious bucks on an engagement ring,for my daughter?Diamond pricing IS controlled b... | |
| Anyone heard the Sota Millenia? Dan,if you want some voicing options,equal to the difference in sound between two arms,get some different brands,but high quality NOS tubes.This will definitely give you a bang,for the buck.Unfortunately it'll probably cost as much as the addition... | |
| Anyone heard the Sota Millenia? Dan,you must understand that this is all only my taste.Lots of stuff is viable.Though I can't see the ever so popular desire to have more than one arm,and cartridge.Unless one has an extensive mono collection,as well as stereo stuff,but that's JUS... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s BTW-Doug,I admit to being up,last night(Thursday),until 3 am,doing(STILL)JUST THAT.I think? I have found a way to pull a smidgen better timbral performance,by increasing the height,on the phono tubes,of the "Herbies" tube dampers.This has allowed ... | |
| Anyone heard the Sota Millenia? Turntable selection is a personal choice.You have to factor size,and your ability to accomodate some of the rather large "Beasts",as well as price.There is a TON of really good designs,in quite a few price categories.I LOVE a load of them.I can't ... |
