As a result of my experience of experiencing a Wood Body Miyajima Cart' in use in a. Very famiiar system. I am yet to hear the Cart' do anything else than create a very good impression.
Alternative to Zyx Ultimate Airy
I just got a new Airy and have about 10 hours on it. Sounds really good, and, as many of you know, the bug bit…”I wonder if there is a cartridge in roughly the same price rang new ($2500) with a similar sounds profile that has a bigger soundstage, better imaging, better timbre, etc.
I am thinking about getting a second cartridge just to try out. Nottingham spacedeck, sme 309 arm with VdH silver cable, JLTi phono stage, Cayin 300b integrated amp, Omega alnico single driver speakers.
Any thoughts would be welcome. I have thought about Dynavector, Lyra, Clearaudio. I need to consider compatibility since the JLTi only allows for 47k ohm and 470 ohm loading. Plenty of gain though.
