Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2

Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s
These are all outstanding carts and you really can't go wrong no matter which you choose. If you like the A 90, then the choice should, IMHO, be obvious.NJoyPradeep 
Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2
Hi JohnCongrats on your Atlas. I have been using the tube gain on the Nagra for many years now after you suggested the possibility.I have alternated between 470 ohm and 300 ohm but honestly its not a day and night difference or a clear preference ... 
Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac
The kw 25 dac is unable to read 24/96 or 24/192 hi rez files downloaded from HD Tracks but is ok with 16/44 files. I am using a VLink 192 as a SPDIF converter. I believe others have had similar problems. The Stereophile review and side measurement...

Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac
Thanks DtcAm sticking to the old. Computer audio makes sense to me only , and only if ,it can capture or mirror the emotional context of music sans any digital detritus . I am still groping my way...but my initial forays suggest that there is hope...

TW Black Night armboard with VTA riser
I contacted Thomas Woscnik and he advised that I would need a new arm board and the VTA insert is not available separately for fitting on a non VTA TW arm board . Interestingly, he advised against it saying that the VTA tower on my Talea2 tonearm ...

Quad 2905 versus Quad 2805 plus subwoofer
I need to update my earlier post( March,2007) in which I had mentioned some reservations/doubts about pairing subs with the 2905s. I have been running my 2905s with a pair of REL 505s for over 5 years and couldn't be happier. There are absolutely ... 
NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s
Zd542Many thanks for your response. The CJ came 6 years ago with the stock Winged C 6550s. These were replaced with the KT88s based on advice from fellow Agoners and others. I have am happy with the sonics but have always been curious about the im... 
TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions
When I was contemplating the upgrade from the AC 1 to the BN PSU cum motor unit, I sent a barrage of questions to Herr Woschnik and he was always courteous and prompt ( same day response). If you need the weight to design a wall shell or any other... 
Electronic stylus force gauge question
I have also had poor experience with those generic scales that sell under various brand names. I now use a Ortofon scale approx SGD 130 or so. It has a lip that extends beyond the platter so you are measuring pretty close to the right spot. Only d...
