| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? I think, "Tondose" can be tranlated with Tone (Ton) and Box (Dose), let's say, Tone is coming out from a little Box.I am not sure, but I think, Tondose was the name from a very early Cartridge in Germany. | |
| Upgrading my Basis 2500. Vacuum or no Vacuum? My Basis has the vacuum option, it works perfect for years and I don't want to miss it. You hear the difference. | |
| Which Cartridge / tonearm has the truest dynamics? The Decca Systems are a special Chapter based on their vibrations. Normally they should be used with a heavy Ikeda Arm, they are 'made' for each other. Probably with a Schroeder Arm, too, I also heard a friend, he tried one with a Kuzma Airline, p... | |
| No Pain No Gain? With this kind of Gain, you have the Flexibility to drive more Amps at the optimum. Some Amps don't fit well together with the Preamp, same for the Inputs, specially when you use a very low output MC with a Phono Stage which is a bit low from the ... | |
| Schroder2 arm near a window +heater/airconditioner YES. M-U-C-H better. | |
| Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges... An excellent good Arm for these carts is the Swiss Made DaVinci Arm | |

| Any experience with the Audio Research PH7? The best Audio Research is always the next model. | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? I think, the Walker would be the next level. But I think, that their Arm makes a huge improvement, too.I changed from Graham 2.2 to Phantom and this difference is NOT subtle. It is huge.Good luck | |
| Best Cartridge for Kuzma Airline Thanks. I tried a few cartridges in the meantime and in my opinion, the best are max. 10gr. Heavier ones are no problem, they work fine, but when I compare those with my Phantom or DaVinci, I think, heavy cartridges are better for heavy Arms.A sen... | |
| Cartridge for Graham 1.5 I think, you've done your decision, but when you are looking for something special, do a search for a Incognito 'Shibui'.A very remarkable cartridge for the money. | |
| Top turntables? The best Turntable is always the next | |
| The Quietest LP Cleaning Machines The VPI 16.5 is the opposite from being quiet. Had one. The Loricraft is much louder than a Keith Monks. The Monks is very, very quiet. | |
| mm or mc cart I think, this will depend on your Phonosection, but normally: YESBetter headroom, better detail, improved speed and timing, but when the Phono Section is not that great, try a High Output MC. Makes Life easier. | |
| New tonearm There is a rewire kit from INCOGNITO for the Rega Arm available. It is huge step up compared to stock. |
