Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions
Forgot about VTA infirmation readed. VTA is not critical in this kind of distortions, bias adjust or azimuth adjust have, at this time, more relevance.Put the VTF at the maximum value permitted by Lyra and with Hifinews test lp or adjust + Lp try ... 
Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm
You should try to check the new Simplicity from Thales (Swiss Co.) I was reviewing it for Hifilive e-magazine and I am liking soooooo much 
Synergistic Research's Tricon Phono Cable
I just compare Tricon and Vortex from Synergistic against my Sixstream plus from Clearaudio.Tricon is tonally neutral, really good focus, wide scene, black backness, not very deep bass and not very scene height. Fast sounding cable, really good si... 
Tonearm cable recommendations...
Anyone knows sonic differences between the Furutech Ag12 and the VdH D.501 silver? 
Connex Audio Cables
Larryken, I was talking about interconnect cables, not speakers cablesAnybody can recommend me a good silver core interconnect cables?Thanks all 
Anti Skating adjustment
Thanks for your inputs...The fact is that as I said with ALL the SME models if you play a non groove vinyl always the arm goes to the center of the spindle so this cdr test is not valid, even it is not a clue. I also said that a/s force is added i... 
Anti Skating adjustment
Nrenter,1-. This cdr test is not valid because the skating force is applyed to the grooves, if you hae no grooves you have no information about skating force. Another reason is that for example SME arms always go to the center with this cdr test e... 
Anti Skating adjustment
Imho abd experience the antiskating force is if not the same a little bit less than the vtf.As the Vta the perfect way to get it right is begining from a standard point (arm paralel to the platter) and move up and down. With the A/S vegining from ... 
Conqueror 3c with a Shilabe, Skala or XV-1S?
After checking some medium to high level cartridges from Koetsu (Rosewood), Benz Micro (Lp), Clearaudio (Concerto) and Lyra (Skala) I finally found the Skala the best of the cartridges tested.Why?Mainly, because of his MICROdynamic response with w... 
Best Platter Material
M Fremer in his last article about the VPI CLASSIC 3 turntable (best analog component of the year) wrote aluminium is the best material.One point for acrylic, check the best turntables in the world (Transrotor, Clearaudio...) all of their flagship... 
Lyra Skala installation
So,Screws, 1,6mm extra long from the headshellVta paralel to the platterNo matts or try some carbon graphite oneVtf to 1,65~1.75 depending on the room tempAntiskating from 1,6 to 1,7Ultra low capacitance phono cable like Cardas or XLOAnything else... 
Lyra Skala installation
Thanks Marakanetz, Syntax and Jcarr for your really interesting inputs.Finally I would like to comment something about the VTA.Reading some information about it in the Van den Hul FAQ webpage he recommends to increase 4-6mm the pilar's height but ... 
Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos?
So if I understood all the information written the only Lyra cartridge that not sound like a classic Lyra cartridge is the Kleos model.This is a very important input to think about it.Delos/Skala/Titan i ----> Fast, dynamic, detailed... with th... 
I currently have a ARC ph-5 phono stage
I was checking a year ago or so the PH5 and I liked a lot his sound, transparent, fast, dynamic, sweet and airy but I found a bass problem imho his bass articulation and extension was a bit raquitic in comparation with similar price phono preamps.... 
Lyra Skala installation
Thanks both for your inputs ;-DI know 1,66g VTF sounds funny but I checked it and differences in bass articulation, air and scene laidback. Seriously.I also add to my phono cable list XLO, thanksWhat about screws? Vta? ... I used in the past space...
