How to Manage Rhea "Noise"
The Rhea I had for loan some time ago had absolutely no problems. Very silent. The original tubes need some time to burn in.But anyway, I would change them for NOS. 
Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story?
When I read that article, I smiled. I smiled, because I thought, he was looking for a "new" King in Town. He also wrote, this is the first real 5 Star cartridge. That was wrong, some time ago he had the first "shoot out" with Lyra Titan, Clearaudi... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Hi George,I am glad, I did go for it. Superior information in all Frequency areas, perfect cartridge alignment and a soundstage to die for.For me, that's a REALLY good tonearm. 
Tonearm Cabling
Thanks, but I want to rewire a tonearm from the headshell through the Arm and here I need different cables.That's what I am lloking for. 
Tonearm Cabling
Yes.Not a Chinch cable. 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
I made a comparison some time ago, I prefered overall the Triplanar, High Frequency Area has more information and detail, the Schroeder can create a different kind of soundstage. But it is more or less dependent on your system, on your cartridge a... 
DaVinci Tonearm
Well, I ordered one. 
DaVinci Tonearm
Hm, everyone has it's own priorities, I use The Phantom and the Triplanar at the moment and I know an Owner of the DaVinci who uses a Kuzma Airline too and he said, the DaVinci is REALLY good. I haven't read the Stereophile Article but I think Mr.... 
Next Turntable
I made "that" search a few years ago, too ( like others ) and I stopped with Basis. Listened to Simon Yorke, Amazon, owned Well Tempered and so on.All good, depends a bit on your wishes for Arm, how many of them, suspension etc. and how serius you... 
DaVinci Tonearm
Cool. Sounds exciting. Thank you for your answer. Great System, too. I will have a chance to listen to it, but will need some time. 
Best phono pre amp for Lyra Helikon
Go for an adjustaqble one, proboably a Klyne. The Lyra Systems were made for 47kohms but they run in a wide range.Don't know about a "best" Phono Stage, but there is much worse out there.Cool Arm, very rare. I knew a user who used such one with Kl... 
Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3
Their main problem: Too cheap!I bet, when they would be distributed normally with the regular pricing they would get much more respect. See the Shelter story. Or the Koetsu hype. No one says it is the best in the world ( Zyx in general or the UNIv... 
The best "no fuss" turntable for $5K or less?
BASIS Turntable 
Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere
Some time ago I listened to an Amazon Turntable ( not sure, but I think it was the Reference ) fitted with an Moerch Arm and a Lyra Cartridge ( Clavis or Parnassus ) and I was impressed. Very clean, very dynamic and loud. That's not a real compari... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
Huh, quite long. Should I avoid the Anniversary Purist ? Did all the years use XLO and have never thought about other cables until I saw the discussions here.
