ZYX RS20 vs Denon DL103

Keep at it Koalaray, "richness" defines the Denon, along with slam and PRaT: it places musicality at the top of its list of priorities by a country mile, worth getting right. Good luck.

All,

I had reset the VTF to 2.4g (I think anyway with my eyesight) and lowered the arm a little bit, I think is around 2mm and the sub counter weight to be less than 0.5 (for those who seen my pic) in my previous post. I tried with Sanata LP & some Jazz LP.....it sounds wonderful.

By the way, I also changed the belf as well and the platter is not moving as it should be, thanks Flyingred.

Yosh, yes I confirmed with the shop that my G545 is the basic model thus no anti-skate "is required/available".

Right now I think the TT sounds slightly better than b4, wider soundstage and more focus, thanks for everyone who helped me on this.

ps: the sound was so good that my cat jumped onto the TT last night while playing.............@_@

I'm trying to find out what Denon model turntable was made back around the late 70's early 80's that had a granite finished base to it ????

Any takers on this knowledge ??

Flyingred:

What is the effective mass for your Schroeder Reference?
I am thinking about getting the 103R myself for my VPI 12.5 arm (11.5g effective mass). Lots of people seem to recommand high mass tonearms for the 103R. Thought about getting Airy 2, but too expensive for me.

I just bought a R20, and since I have been using a 103r for about a year and a half, I should be able to give you some comparisons soon. I'll let you know what I think after some long listening over the weekend.
