Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2

Mike You are obviously right about the Telos. My intent was not to belittle a great arm, but a narrow and somewhat theoretical curiosity :if this is soo good,can it /does it get any better than this? Fortunately I may never find out as I don't have enough real estate on my wall mounted TT rack to accommodate a 12" arm. Goldeneraguy My point precisely. Straight out of the box the Atlas is a superior cart to the Titan i. A slight digression on the Floyd reissues: The Wall is really good Cheers Pradeep |
I don't know how I ended up making the same post twice! Sorry. Mike We may have a common friend/ acquaintance who shuttles between Singapore and Seattle and helped me with the Atlas. Small world! The Atlas continues to mesmerise ....Happy days are here. Thanks to all Agoners for the positive support and encouragement . Cheers Pradeep |
Pradeep, The change of the TW BN power supply is primarily a quieter background (this depends on your home electrical system somewhat) and a more relaxed sound. I have A/B'd the 2 extensively. Just to help you isolate the differences. I love my Titan I so much I don't want to hear what you and others have to say. I much prefer my denial. But between you, Shane, and Fremer I am being pushed towards an upgrade. Is the Titan worth holding onto after the fact? I have found the Titan I a better cartridge than my Allearts for less than perfect pressings. Makes them a touch more listenable. And I have the WYWH SACD,CD, original pressing and the reissue. The SACD is extremely poor IMO. The vinyl reissue is much better, but the CD is better than both and my original pressing is excellent but a little softer sounding than the CD. |
Hi all. Very informative thread. I have a Graham Phantom II with an Ortofon A90. I have just enough funds for ONE upgrade. What would be the biggest (sonically speaking) ROI ? Question: Should i replace the tonearm with a Talea 2 ? Should i bring the Phantom to Supreme status ? Should i replace the A90 with an Atlas ? FYI, TT is Sota Cosmos IV. Just can not live without vacuum hold down. Phono stage is ARC Phono 2 modded by Steve Huntley. Word of wisdom anyone?? |
