When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly?
..that's what I suspected Stanwal....that 2 examples of the same turntable, arm, cartridge, on the same supporting table will sound different....then again....the same orchestra in 2 different halls will sound different.  There is no absolute....j... 
Where to go
The VAS NOVA isn't expensive....just acts that way 
Where to go
..just heard VAS NOVA......no need for anything else.   
How many grams weight for mm cartridge?
Hear we go again.....a cartridge is designed with the suspension, magnets, coils, et al being in a specific place for all to for these disparate parts to work at their best places and values to do their best work.  There is one and only one vtf th... 
Lyra Atlas experiences
0_Oholter....the Atlas is phenomenally good at finding all the little differences in all that the record can reveal...performance, production, etc....That's why one pays all that money....however, it will be this microscopic, even if a bit off (we...

The most transparent speaker cable

Nandric....I always set my vtf to the manufacuter's recommendation.  They designed the cartridge and know what is best for it.  I don't care at all how the cartridge does with test records...only how it sounds with my records. In my experiences te... 
Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines
Vandersteen is a good choice....I'd be more open to solid state of I were you.  If you can find used Ayre, you'd make a find.  Be careful about getting hooked into the upgrade sickness. Buy from companies that are solid...with great customer suppo...
