| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... Can you listen to several of the Moon phono pre's? Since you mention a pending Moon upgrade I am guessing you can. Even if you end up preferring another brand, you can get a sense of what happens as phono pre improves. If you see a second hand ST... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions As STST is less well known in the American market, it bears mentioning that the Motus tables are a very mature product. Stefan has been honing this design for many years... ( disclosure: Solypsa represents STST ) | |
| Phonostage comparisons Hope you can demo cuz the MP1 is no slouch :). Heard the CS Port and is very good. Depends on priorities but know of a CS Port replaced by EM/IA. Meanwhile RADA ( caveat : whom I represent ) has been the winner compared to EM/IA. So.... off to de... | |
| Anyone familar with the EIZZ EZ-6012D Premium 12inch Tonearm ??? Have not tried it. I am not seeing the correlation to the 4pt? 2k is a steal for a great tonearm and a fortune for a bad one ;) | |
| Phonostage comparisons Thanks for sharing the results of your fun :) | |
| EMT 948 w/ 929 tonearm. 250g seems a strange number. 2.5g ? | |
| EMT 948 w/ 929 tonearm. Perhaps I am not understanding you. What is the VTF ( vertical tracking force as measured at the stylus in grams )? | |
| Looking for some turntable/tonearm/cartridge guidance I don't know what additional armtubes for the DP-6 cost, but I do know they can be changed to suit mass requirements. Could be a fun experiment :) | |
| Advice for a new analog system @chayro great suggestion | |
| Advice for a new analog system To consider: 1) Primary Control Kinea DD turnable and Gravity tonearm. All handmade in NL. Similar money 2) STST Motus IIDQ with Vertex or maybe Glanz tonearm. About half cost. These both I work with, and love. Not on magazine covers but ver... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. Two ways to look at this imho 1) buy starter gear, all well known ( aka the stuff in the mags at the moment ), maybe used if quality is certain, and enjoy...knowing resale wont be a long process and upgrades are coming someday. 2) do a lot of re... | |
| Great phono stage, with character, for a digital pre The particular cart in use I wouldn't describe as very ' warm / rich ' based on my experience with it. YMMVY but might be a bigger piece of the puzzle than assigned so far. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Some great ideas presented already, here are two more: Primary Control Arrow Glanz MH9bt | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @rossb kudos for the nod towards musicality :) @neonknight beaten surely but at what cost, right? Btw hello fellow Washingtonian! | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I am a DD fan, have a pretty nice restored SP10mk2 with FR64S etc. With that in mind ( and caveat I am the NA representative ) you may wish to know about STST. Very mature DD design made to order for you. The Motus DQ ( sans suspension ) is in you... |
