Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10

Hi Ddriveman,

I give all my arms for rewiring to Dertonarm, it`s not cheap but you can trust the quality for years. I always go for new DIN-connectors, the old ones you may send to the moon. Some guys use them again due to "vintage& original design". They never anticipate you open up the arm again...

Dear Thuchan and Dertonarm- Appreciate your thoughts on the silver Ikeda wire for the Max 282. I should receive it this week and we may have a listen to it for a few weeks. I have a Dynavector XV 1S just back from Soundsmith and I may try this cartridge in the Max with a Crystal Cable tonearm wire.

I have been thinking about rewiring my Audio Craft 4400 to silver wire for some time and perhaps i should have it done as well.

I am also still in shock at how good the rx 5000 is performing. I am using it with a thread as recommended by Dertonearm.

All very good stuff.

Dear Logenn: As Thuchan pointed out the best " solution " is goes from very up-front ( tonearm-cartridge connectors. ) down to the phono stage input ( no SUT Thuchan because there are, between other things, additional " joints ". ).

I already tested no less than 20 different tonearm wires ( internal wire. ) and there are several that IMHO are better performers ( neutral. ) than the Ikeda one that I tested too.

Two of them are the Audio Note ( UK. ) and this one:

That Dertonarm used in the last 20 years the Ikeda IMHO only menas that in that subject he does not grow-up/improve.

Crystal that you are using is very good too as is Nordost one.

Btw, as usually I'm not commercialy biased on this internal wire subject.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Raul,
The 'link' you provided appears to be from your own hard drive.

Dear Raul,

I made an comparison between the Audio Note Silver litz and the Ikeda Silver in my SAEC WE 8000 by accident. The arm was rewired with Audio Note Silver wire and sounded very good. Nevertheless I had a contact problem with the DIN connector and being in repair the arm was completly rewired with Ikeda Silver litz. Raul you may not believe me - and maybe you did have another Ikeda litz at the time - but the Ikeda is still an improvement, warmer and even more brilliant.
