Differences : PC-1/Titan i / Miyabi Standard-& 47


Hi Guys!
Any experience from these and their difference in sound according to your ears (not reviews).
I´d would dearly appreciate your comments/thoughts.

I use Raven One with Bruer 8C tonearm (if it makes any difference)

Many Thanks!

I did listen to all of them, some I own. Each is very different to the other. My personal rating for those is from absolutely horrible to great.
But this is my opinion, because I prefer listening to "something" which sounds like real music.
Based on the huge differences:
What is your goal when you want to listen to analog?
Getting a dry tongue and beg for a Digital Playback: PC-1
Detail, detail, detail: Titan i
Smooth Listening: Miyabi 47
A window to real music: Miyabi Standard
Hi Clabe,
well, maybe we have a different kind of taste or view, but overall, it is my opinion. But it is definitely not a religion. When you are happy with it, fine.
You know, ask 5 Audiophiles and you will get 6 opinions...
In a way we all read this and that any probably we can use it. When you want, I can send a .pdf file with the records I listen to, when you hate that kind of music, great, when you like, great also.
I'm not mad to get emails from A'goners like the one here:
"..If you ever again 'attack' my choices of equipment as if it is a KNOWN fact rather than your own personal preference, I will bite you back as savagely as I can..."
Was sent to me as a copy from someone else...some want to be respected as a knowledgeable Audiophile. Not based on knowledge, based on the money they spent. Can be a dilemma...
Hello Claes-Goeran,
the Miyabi Standard is not really in the "Focus" today. it is the only cartridge which survived everything I had here for about 8 years. It stills runs strong and it has a kind of life inside which does not need any complicated Phonostages to bring the best.
But I also knew owners who were not able to hear its unique Performance, they were looking for something additional, for example dominant Bass, Speed or other artifacts.
I bought it 3x and my spare was always bought from visitors after listening :-) here.
One of the very best carts today, which deliver the expectations in the name "High End" (or my thinking about it).
