Cartridge for JA Michell Orbe Se with Technoarm

I am thinking to try lyra delos any opinion on that, thanks

There has been many good feedbacks regarding this cart. I think you just need to make sure that the cart and the arm work well with each other. What is the gain on the Burmester? Check your manual to see if they have a recommended minimum output for the cart. And stick with carts that have higher output than the stated minimum.

Make sure you set up the table bounce correctly. You might want to replace the belt and the oil in the spindle. Michell recommended Mobil One 0W-40.

I have no experience with the Technoarm, but I would recommend upgrading up to an SME V. I have this combo, and am actually planning on mounting a Graham 2.2 on the other "ear". Many owners have reported good feedbacks with these two arms. My understanding is that the Technoarm is a glorified Rega.

I'm happily using a Graham 2.2 on my Orbe - I'm sure it sounds good with a Tecnoarm too, though I prefered the 2.2 when I A/B'd the 2 on a Gyro.

As for cartridges...the options are endless. Does your phono stage like high or low impedance coming out of the cartridge? I've enjoyed Benz cartridges, but they have a high-ish output impedance and don't match to all phono stages that are designed for low-output cartridges. I'm using an Ortofon A90 at the moment, and it's a very nicely balanced cart with low output and low impedance that matches my preamp perfectly...it isn't given away though!

Countingbackwards,

Which version of the Graham 2.2 are you using? Does it have the Graham base or the SME base?
