| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Also I am very weary of buying any more used cartridges. I have had several used cartridge issues. I will not buy a used one again unless I really trust the seller or I get it at such a low price, it doesn't matter if it needs some work. For examp... | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. rauliruegas, I have two turntables. Both of them are Origin Live. Both are Encounter arms MK2. Just thinking about my next project. When and if I get something else is undetermined. Sometime in the next year probably. When I do have my EMT retippe... | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Lewm, I wouldn't leave anything out unless it is unobtanium. Thanks for the suggestions so far. Keep them comming. | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Yes... Go on... Care to name a few not on the list? I do now there is another list on the net. But that is another biased list IMO. So much left out. | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Also the only Clearaudio is the Goldfinger for $15000. | |
| Cartridge around $2K help. I'm certainly not in your league as far as price but maybe my opinion will help. I have a Delos and I certainly think you can't go wrong with the Kleos. The Delos does sound a bit like Dynavector to me but more detailed with more bass. The Kleos s... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Ok the entire record is going at 33.3 but the outer grooves do cover a longer distance each revolution. So the platter is traveling faster on the outer grooves. But the same amount of information is contained in one revolution on the inner and out... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Nandric,The spirals get smaller but the speed is the same everywhere on the platter. The only thing that should make a difference is the angle of the stylus as it crosses the record surface. Although I am no expert either, I am a building engineer. | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations TonyWhat you have said makes perfect sense to me and my expeience. Really I don't see how you get around not having antiskate unless you drop to a very low VTF. Around 1g vtf probably needs very little antiskate. | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Dougdeacon, Thanks for your input. I am using an Origin Live Encounter mk2 (the dual pivot version). I am using the VPI headshell weight. I used the mint protractor to align the cart. I try to use as little VTF as possible and use antiskate to eli... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations I don't know what VPI does that makes anti skate sound worse with it than without it, but I find it is essential. I'm sure most feel the same way. I don't need a test record to dial it in either. I don't have a test record but I can see how tortur... | |
| ZYX R-100 Yatra & SME 3009 MKII Non-Improved I have a Yatra and I have had issues with it. I never could get it to sound good all the time until recently. I have an Origin Live Aurora mk1 with Encounter mk2 arm. I recently got a good price on a used Aurora mk2 with Encounter mk2. The Encount... | |
| Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos? I am using a Delos on a Origin Live Aurora with Encounter arm and I am having no issues. Setup is critical. 1.76 VTF and a fair amount of antiskate. Antiskate is imporatant to get right. VTA with the tone arm about level or slightly tail up, adjus... | |
| Wyred DAC-2 My previous post was for JAG not bob. I would like to edit it but it is being screened for approval. Thanks | |
| Wyred DAC-2 Bob, if you just got the DAC-2, how could you possibly hear such a dramatic difference from changing the diodes? This may be a great idea. But wait until it breaks in. It changes DRAMATICALLY!There are other things that make a big difference that ... |
