Avid Acutus
Dear Khrys: You choose for the whole analog rig. Not for the Acutus or SME 30 in specific.The system that you choose is really a different one from the other two.My opinion ( I already heard the Acutus and the SME 30, no the Basis V ) is that the ...

ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
Dear Richarddmr: All of us in this forum always support the MC cartridges and never " speak " about other great cartridges designs: MM type.There are great MM top performers that in many ways are better than the MC ones. Between the MM manufacture... 
ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
