Field coil dava cartridge


I have been hearing great things about the dava field coil cartridge with the tube power supply. I am only able to read a few reviews on them. The reviews seem all positive and the designer Darius seems to be a very approachable person . I would like to hear opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the cartridge. Especially comparison with the Lyra atlas sl which is my current cartridge.

thanks in advance.

@lewm i did read about Mike’s comments about the dava. He’s a bit hard to read cause there is a lot of heart in what he says 😊.

I love my Lyra, I like my ortofon verisimo . I am tending towards getting the dava as a third Cartridge and  mount it on my Durand tosca arm.

more experiences are welcome .

 

 

There's additional discussions on the Dava cartridge on What's Best Forum if you're interested.

 

 

@rdk777 

the opinions by mike is what got me interested in the dava. I have read what he has said in both forums.

I was hoping someone else has heard the dava in their system and what their opinion was.

I wouldn't take WBF too seriously, except to say that some of those guys actually do own the megabuck gear that they discuss, which does count for something.  But beware of subconscious bias, which is inevitable and only human.
