While the most people on audiogon will recommend only US MADE gear for some reason, i must admit, there are amazing gear made in Japan, Europe and Australia.
Thinking to replace my phono
Hi All,
I was wondering, what are the benefits I can get by replacing the phono stage with a more expensive one, say - 8K$-11K$?
My current analog setup made from Brinkmann Bardo turntable & 10.5 arm, Miyajima-Laboratory Kansui cartridge, Zesto Andros PS phono. The above setup connects to Luxman C\M900u pre+amp and Magico S3mk2 speakers.
Any thought or knowledge is welcome.
Thanks

If your arm is Brinkmann 10.5 then effective mass is 12g ? Miyajima Kansui compliance is 9cu @ 10Hz and this is a very low compliance for 12g tonearm which is designed for mid compliance cartridges. At least you have to use special heavy mounting screws to add mass, this is all you can do with this tonearm. I have the same Kansui cartridge and i think you can improve its performance with much heavier tonearm like IKEDA if a tonearm/cartridge resonance matching is important for you. |
