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.

Dear @bonzo75  :  " What you like or Leif or me or any one else is not under questioning in any way and it’s the subject of this kind of dialogue:

" zero tolerance " means that I just do not care of any cartridge with a FR deviation between 4db-6db ..."

 

that's not " truism " as is not either the Duelund heavy colorations, even in Agon tech-talk forum you can read a dedicated thread with almost all what an audiophile needs to know about, find out a time to read it all the posts. For the good or wrong is a learning cap thread:

BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

 

Those 4db-6db cartridge deviation is a fact as are what you can read about caps.

If facts are " truism " for you no problem with me, it's you who look that way.

No, Agon is not wbf .

 

It's weird for say the least that the time I was posting there you did not try to have a debate with any of my posts and suddenly you came here with a lot of information maybe thinking that with that the FR of that CARTRIDGE WILL SHOWS " IT'S FLAT ". 

 

@lohanimal  , main difference is that there almost all is: " the proof is in the lestining " no matters what. The corrupted AHEE ( where all of us belongs " ) is whom teached exactly that.

it seems like some prefer to debate design elegance, history, methods, materials, and measurement minutia instead of actual music playing performance. nothing wrong with that unless you are actually wanting to play music.

 i hope that some involved in those interesting musings do have a chance to hear the DaVa at some point as i would be interested in their listening perceptions about it. to me i want to first hear it to see if i like it, then maybe understand the tech to see how it did what it did. not the reverse first.

Dear @bonzo75  : Sorry to disturb you again but I re-read your posts and some information from your blog linked first by M Lavigne and unfortunatelly I can't find any single FACT/spec/measure that in any way could explain the FOUNDATION of all what you posted and that could change some of us opinions on that cartridge.

 

@mikelavigne , " then maybe understand the tech to see how it did what it did. "

Well that explain very clear our differences. My approach/common sense works different.

i only hope those who visit this thread for specific cartridge listening feedback, and have to sift through all the ’other interesting things’, do eventually find what they seek.

tech talk has it’s function too, of course. but is it the meat? or beside the point?

for me it is clearly beside the point. actually acquiring and listening to cartridges is the hard part. while i respect apparent techie chops, it's not what get's me excited about hifi and music.

Dover, once again I don’t want to go off on a tangent or to steal this thread, but when I said “within 0.5 db”, to me that means within plus or minus 0.5 db in relation to 0db. That’s what I mean when I say that. I recognize there is a possibility for what I said to have been misinterpreted. I don’t doubt there are cartridges that claim such a response accuracy. I’m only questioning the reality.
