| recommendation for a high end analog system No need to be embarrassed. Much better to learn on the Denon before getting a higher end cart! | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system @chakster is correct in that the Denon shines in heavier tonearms@jasonbourne52 is also on point in that the Denon is known to sound best with a good SUT ( even if you have enough gain )However this is a good time to see how far you can push the e... | |
| DL103R- I’m sure it’s been said before… Congrats. AnaMighty / Sculpture A are really on their game these days :) | |
| Upgrade entry level or start over? I would say start over. Imo at this price point the best turntable path is to buy high quality vintage. Vintage has gotten expensive but there are still good buys. Read some threads on lenco and idler drive turntables as well as vintage direct dri... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Sp10mk3 in good nick with restored FR64S is a great thing. Btw how much was the cost for the FR64S service and rewire at Ikeda? | |
| Stylus shapes! Since 'advanced shapes' have been about for 40 to 50 years without one being crowned supreme could it be that its a matter of taste and music genre? | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana Good eq existsThey are used in mastering studios dailyThey are costly- no surprise | |
| New Arm or New TT and arm? Now is a great time to revisit direct drive imho. Of course Technics, but also Brinkmann and STST etc. | |

| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges I own an FR64S and its all that for lower compliance carts. I also use a Groovemaster Ti and it to works a treat for these carts as well although its a bit more restrained. On my wish list to try is the Glanz and the Schroder broadcast... | |
| two Channel equalizer recommendations If you want fairly neutral check into the eq popular with mastering studios, as they are doing just this: slight changes to completed stereo mixes. The prices do go up. A great yet lesser known company to look at is Gyraf. They make a 'tilt' eq th... | |
| Should I replace Denon DL-103R with Dynavector DRT-XV1 mounted @yogiboy i know how to use a calculator and I do all the time. I said a 'particularly good match'. This can go beyond resonant frequency 'ideals'. My personal experience with the DRT has been in slightly higher mass steel arms where it has been qu... | |
| Should I replace Denon DL-103R with Dynavector DRT-XV1 mounted I have heard both. The drt xv1 is WAY better. What I am not so sure about is if the excellent SME IV is a particularly good match for either. Hmm... | |
| Suggestions to upgrade from Lyra Delos My experience with a Delos ( one time for a client ) is that it is a great cart, however In this instance it wasn't as deep or 'fleshed out' in the bass as some others and this imho is required for a sense of 'richness'. | |
| Suggestions to upgrade from Lyra Delos Good plan. Meanwhile its possible that trying a higher quality 15vdc linear power supply on the Trumpet could raise it higher in SQ ( like the Farad ) but Hagermann is a very savvy designer so who knows... |
