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.
here is all you need to know about Jonathan’s opinion. his DS Audio is for sale......but not his DaVa. he did tell me he likes both cartridges, but what the DaVa does is essential. and Jonathan has had most of the top level cartridges in his system. |
Dear @mijostyn : you are rigth, the 12" against a 10" EL tonearm in reality makes almost insignificant " improve " in tracking error. Using Löfgren A alignment IEC:
high tracking error in 12" is 1.4° at 146mm ( outer groove) and from 120mm. to 66mm is 0°and at most inner groove ( 60mm ) is 0.56° in the 10" is 1.65° at most outer groove and 0° from 119mm to 66mm and at most inner groove is 0.57°
All those with 100% accuracy in the alignment but any tiny inaccuracy in the alignment makes that the 12" error gone way higher than in a short tonearm.
Nothing justify a longer tonearm other that the " no sense ": " I like it " or just ignorance. In the other side a longer tonearm develops higher resonances/vibrations/self distortions ( everything the same. ).

Thats what my chooks use to say when we had the chook house in the back garden. Cluck, cluck, cluck cluck... They were good layers though. |
@mijostyn : Maximum distortion difference between null points is only 0.1% if alignment accuracy is 100%: zero tolerance.
