What I like the more from Grieg scores are his piano compositions, just great ones. Perhaps because piano is my favorite instrument after the female voice.

Dear @chris_g : " I’m referring to anyone that started listening to analog after the year 2000. There are true users, and then there are hipsters!!! " The audio world is a complex one and you have in this analog forum gentlemans that listen digital,LP,R2R and even casette and I can tell you that 22 years are a lott of years to learn what to do to improve your MUSIC/audio enjoyment no matters the media. Hipsters exist only in your mind/imagination.

no, not more distortion. yes; a step forward from my other arms. which are very fine. it’s more like the detail i get from 1/2" 15 ips tape. more life like and greater realism. |
Primary Control also produce a version of the FCL arm with permanent magnets - the Gravity - at a lower price point. With regard to the Phantom - I chose the Naim Aro over it many years ago for several reasons - The Phantom unipivot bearing is upside down - negatively affecting energy transfer. The Aro used only mechanical damping - weight distribution and importantly the self centering sapphire cup and radiused tip actually provide several db of mechanical damping - see Martin Colloms review. The Phantom arm-tube had lossy material inside the arm tube - in my experience with tuning my ET2 arm-tube this does more damage than good - smearing the signal. I have actually heard a couple of Phantoms in a top flight system with a variety of cartridges - they have a fat over exaggerated upper bass that I find detracts form the music. Funnily enough the Aro is very stable for a unipivot - on eccentric records there is no visible roll. And before Mr R runs another diatribe - the Aro is one of many arms I own. No arm is perfect.
