A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Some time ago I did also listen to SME 20 with Graham Phantom Arm and my Takeda Miyabi Cartridge.I am also interested in some sentences why this turntable is good or not ... :-)We all know, Turntable matters. But this "matter" has a lot of views, ... 
Which tonearm cable?
The Phonocable is probably the most important one in the whole System. Nowhere else the signal is so small, can be influenced so much (it should be shielded) and nowhere else the loss of information can be done faster (material of connector, kind ... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Designing a good turntable needs a lot of brain, knowledge, understanding and precision. But this is no guarantee for commercial success. Here we meet the territory of the "I like it" Fangroup. Here the starting begins from a total different level...

...is there really hope for the future?No. 
Best phono for a Merrill MS2/Triplaner/Ort. AC90 ?
Whest is totally overeaten and overhyped from a few. Every of their units, beginning from the first, was always a 'giant-killer' and even from this out-of-world-Standard it was possible to make 5 more models, every set a new Standard and was alway...

ZYX Omega or UNIverse?
One of the huge advantages of the Phantom Design is its Magneglide System which stabilizes the main bloc in a very genius way. The increase in weight is another step ahead compared to the 2.0 series. This Arm has a very solid low end with impressi... 
ZYX Omega or UNIverse?
Dear WRM57, the Phantom II is a excellent match with the Zyx. click me softly 
ZYX Omega or UNIverse?
The UNIverse does some details different. Did you read in the review section here the one from Dougdeacon about the UNI? It is pretty good writing, not the usual "I-have-it-and-I am-so-happy-and-it-is-so-good-and-it-is-a-bargain-and-the-MkV versio... 
ZYX Omega or UNIverse?
Well, when the airy 3 sounds 'glassy' to you, I think, you have a serious problem with proper reproduction. There you need a compensation, not a cartridge which sounds right. How about Koetsu? 
Clearaudio Concerto Cartridge
... but I don't have big bucks to spend at this time. Any other suggestions?Think about Zyx 100FS. It is a very good cartridge, independent from price. 
matching cartridge and speakers
Interesting question, because you are right, all is a "chain". The X-over from the connected speaker can be a 'black hole' or can serve you more information. When that one is done right it is possible to hear more information, even when the overal...
