Actually, the M2-12 turned out to be a good arm. It really does Sound very good. I used it with Denon 103M and 103D. It has very “interesting” midrange in a way more interesting then SME3012 but not as dry as the SMEV. I detected just 3 limitations: ...

Coops, do you have any personal observations or ideas about the ultimate TT, or are you already invested and just checking my credentials? I would like to know your thoughts, too, based on your own personal listening habits, preferences an...

Hello, this is my first post here - this is a wonderful web site, critical and fair - a lot of knowledge here and i consider you real connoiseurs - that's why i'm hoping to resolve my problem here.
I have a Micro Seiki SX-111FVL - the big L one, a...

Hi Guy, [quote user="guy sergeant"]My experience with the 834p stemmed from having one at home for about a year soon after it was launched. I did try different types of ECC83 in it which did change it's balance slightly but not enough to make me like...

[quote user="Markus"]Interesting take on the Altec 820. No way can this be done for 20k. Looks like dipole bass with some attenuation for mid frequencies.[/quote] Markus, the price of this thing might be anything they want. They can set if $100K and ...

Interesting, How much is what your appreciate in the SPU sound derives from the SPU’s high output. When we load out typical 60-65++ dB gain phonostages with high output 2-3mV cartridges then Sound is way more interesting. I would not speculate if th...

I, after being sick and tired form the Denon 102 misery, got the Ortofon Mono needle. I was under impression that Ortofon Mono was true mono cartridge with one coil. However, when I opened it up to mount it’s insert on my “Chernobyl Spinnaker” tonear...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

The 834P was a revelation for me, being a circuit that I would have dismissed as "old hat" (Feedback? 12AX7 cathode follower? Do me a favour!). I like it so much that I intend to build an "enhanced" copy a la Thorsten/Carsten for reference (and enjoy...

i agree that there are more audiophile cartridges around than the dl103. but except maybe for the ortofon classic, they all have non-spherical stylii. i am sure that a lot of the "air", "space", "bloom" etc. of today's cartridges is actually distorti...

Cost isn't extortionate for such an interesting experiment.
I don't think Denon experimented with gem-stone cantilevers, that's very much a Dyna thing, though I believe they used boron for the 103M - which Romy has.

John, I had nothing to do with Voyd or Pink Triangle, I also not a big fan of Audio Note UK.
Mono cartridges is good, in fact I feel that Mono Cartridges IS A MUST for anyone who do analog more of less serious. Defiantly a second arm is more conveni...

Antonio, I would like to point out that your replied to my post about the 103M cartridge. The 103 and 103M are totally different animals , even contraction-wise. In fact it is shame that they named them as they were the similar model number. Perform...

I never knew, that the 103 fanatics are ruling the world (ok, not really, but they try) until I made the following:
One of my friends had someone in his area who is a cartridge maker (or repairs them), I ordered 4 Denon 103 R w...

That is the source of my constant bitching for years: what the CD players do not read the dist with WAV. If you have a raw 16/44 file that still might sound OK then burring the file on CD kills everything. So, why do not make the CD players and trans...
