| Dynavector DV-507 Mk II ? Something pretty epic about the look of the Dyna arm on a big Micro. If it's 'the best' arm at the price point could be tough to know...there are quite a few really nice arms in and around that price point. I guess that's where a second arm comes ... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @rvpiano congrats. Regarding your comment about 'rounded edges': Of course this may be a cart or table issue. It is even be possible it is just different than your digital ( without hearing it I could not presume which is closer to 'real'...). Co... | |
| Cartridge recommendations for Thorens BTD 12s arm??? I have no personal experience with the arm in question, but it seems that people have had good results with Decca’s. Since Decca’s don't play nice with a lot of arms this *might* be an opportunity.... | |
| My Sonic Labs cartridges Delays in supply chain are the new normal in 2022, sadly | |
| SUT for EAR 834p? SUT quality can make a rather large difference. They also can cost quite a bit. Sculpture A Mini Nano has been getting a lot of praise in the $1k arena, and comes in many ratios including 1:20 and 1:26. You could also diy a Lundahl or Jensen and ... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @rvpiano it's tough to spend on a phono preamp but it is essential. Good move. What you have will change and /or improve and you will learn from that. | |
| Anyone upgraded from Hana ML to Umami Red? @macg19 Great point about setup- reserve a little budget for a decent protractor and vtf gauge! Developing self sufficiency in setup and dialing in is a great skill to have. I also +1 the preference for dealing with a cart manufacturer that offer... | |
| Anyone upgraded from Hana ML to Umami Red? @petg60 Fair presumption about dealers for both Hana and Etsuro, although it is worth noting that in the USA they do not use the same distribution. Hitting that next ( Etsuro Cobalt ) pricing tier does open up the door to many very serious carts ... | |
| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp @houstonreef You didn't mention your tonearm, which is a nice tidbit of info for cart recommendations. It's a great time to be cart shopping with so many excellent options! Two very good carts that are medium compliance and fit your stated prefe... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @pindac thanks for your comments. If I am not mistaken you are located in Europe? If your inquiry was serious ( versus making some obvious point about bias ) I would start by contacting Ana Mighty Sound in Paris. There you may hear the Motus and m... | |
| Best turntable for the buck STST Motus DQ, a very musical DD turntable. Capable of the best tonearm and cartridge you can put on it. Caveat: bias implied as I am the NA agent for STST. So don't take my word for it ;) there are plenty of raves to be found online. | |
| Aidas Cartridge On the topic of repairs; Aidas Cartridges does repair, cantilever/stylus replacement and full rebuilds on all their carts. A nice feature imho versus a trade in program. | |
| Tonearms for a Luxman PD-444 I wondered if the lower armboard is drilled for a Fidelity Research B60 heavy base? | |
| Tonearms for a Luxman PD-444 Is it coming with arm boards? If so do you know what hole or slot is in each one? | |
| Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many. PTP 9 would, with judicious arm purchase, hit your budget and comes in various colors...don't know if that look is your thing. |
