| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Funny Raul. I am glad you don’t care; we neither know enough about each other for such. Btw for clarity: I said "wouldn't" not ( as you assert) 'couldn't'. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas No problem, I don't expect tracking issues based on the technical match or reputation. I, however, would not proclaim a cartridge to be an excellent tracker based only on 'paper specs' either... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas own and owned almost all models from the humble AT95 to any top one but the ART 1000 So you never heard or touched the ART 1000? Yet: The ART 1000 is almost a " jewel " and an a design achievement and very good tracker due to i... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @reimarc perhaps stating the obvious but you may want to keep your current Benz LPS long enough to hear the new preamp- keeping variables limited :) A gon member @gakerty switched from a Benz LPS to the Aidas Gala Gold and was quite happy with th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @pindac why are you ’wed to Ortofon'? If the following is true ( your statement ) then any cart having a few of the basic ingredients might be fine? It is no secret; I have been an advocate of the method of using a Third Party rebuild service, I... | |
| Madrigal Carnegie MC cartridge suspension can 'age out' or become out of spec. The good news is that it is a rare MC cart that cannot be rebuilt. If this is 'worth it' is a different more personal question ;) | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas did you personally measure in your system, see in person, or listen to a DaVa reference ? For your information I will share my opinion with you when you share yours ( actual not theoretical ) one too. Deal? | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT @lewm It isn't obvious to me how the spiral ground wire actually shields. It seems too loose to do much... | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) Unlike some you have posted a lot of detail - nice. Eff mass of arm *should* work with a lot of MC carts. In practice iirrc that arm likes lighter mass and higher compliance. AT offerings for example. SME 3009 series 2, unimproved, with an effe... | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Short lengths are key | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Rather than confuse with labels, as has been noted above the sut to phono preamp cable should be excellent and low capacitance. Doesn't mean expensive per se. The lowest capacitance cables will be unshielded. Your phono pre might be better with sh... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge I did hear good music. You simply proceeded to make too many assumptions. I wont bite. | |
| Field coil dava cartridge @rauliruegas we don't know each other. I respect you have an opinion and experience. You may wish to stop assuming what you know about me, or even what my opinion of the DaVa is ( as I did not elaborate and will not likely do so ). | |
| Field coil dava cartridge I heard some great music on the Saskia/Tosca/DaVa at Mike's. | |
| One stereo or two (stereo and mono) cartridges? @ghdprentice personally, I can seldom listen to a mono recording… I get bored almost immediately. I loved a Fats Waller album but am so disappointed it is not in stereo. It just falls flat You clearly are a seasoned vinylista, but in my experie... |
