| Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL I would like to thank Dougdeacon, Halcro, Mosin, Dre j, Dgad and rauliruegas for their replies. They are all very helpful to give me an idea of what to expect from the sonic differences of these two cartridges, especially in relation to the Lyra O... | |
| goldmund reference . which would be the best arm Linn Ittok superior to the Goldumnd T3F on a Goldmund Reference?! That defies believe... But anyway, to your question; the tonearm you should consider based on the fact 'you'd prefered the Ittok' is the Swiss made Breuer type 8B (current version).... | |

| Your favorite obscure ECM album I'm quite suprised to find that most respondents' choices come from one of the other ECM catalogue. I would like to recommend a couple of disc from the ECM New Series catalogue: Officium (ECM 1525) and Mnemosyne (ECM 1700/01). Both by Jan Garbarek... | |
