Used with Ortofon's low-output Anna D moving-coil cartridge, the Boulder rewarded MF with performance that was "essentially colorless in the best sense of the word." Its nude, square-shank diamond stylus is ground to a spherical tip. (Vol.43 No.6 WWW), Haniwa HCTR-CO: $10,000 Pairing the Hommage T1 with an EMT OFD 25 mono pickup head resulted in unsurpassed musical and emotional impact, he noted. (Vol.39 No.1), SME Synergy: $22,995 with Series IV tonearm WebOrtofon's MC Anna phono cartridge, introduced in 2013, apparently remains a popular choice for analog perfectionists who can afford its $8924 price, but it has now been joined in the JA's measurements revealed the Duo to be "a superbly quiet, superbly linear, superbly accurate phono preamplifier." But where the sliding portion of the older arm was a longish aluminum tubethe arm's effective mass was thus greater in the horizontal than vertical planethe armtube of the Odin is attached to a 3"-long sleeve of comparatively low mass, which rides along an "airtube" that's held rigid at both ends and whose level is adjustable. (Vol.39 No.1, Vol.43 No.9 WWW), Aidas Audio Gala Gold LE: $5500 Described by its manufacturer as employing "coreless straight-flux" technology, the Suzaku moving-magnet cartridge has a very low output (0.2mV), a moderate internal impedance (12.3 ohms at 1kHz), and a downforce range of 1.752gm, and is said to be non-sensitive to load capacitance. Stereophile might mention that devices are connected by a balanced line, but they never mention whether the balanced line is at "consumer" level (~2V) or standard professional level (+10dBu). WebThe Absolute Sound, Stereophile, Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi World, and other audiophile press outlets agree: The Hana SH and SL MC phono cartridges offer price-to-performance Affordable moving-magnet cartridge with user-replaceable elliptical diamond stylus. Because MF is not a gear slut, he does not own a selection of current-amplification phono preamplifiersboth by his own admission. The MusiKraft shell is machined in such a way that its two pieces, when assembled, tightly clamp the Denon cartridge's top plate; each shell is predrilled with five sets of tapped mounting holes, thus making cartridge mounting and alignment easier than ever. (Vol.42 No.1), Top Wing Suzaku (Red Sparrow): $16,500 (Vol.40 No.2 WWW), Lyra SPT: $60/1.5ml bottle It retains the stereo version's boron cantilever and Replicant 100 stylus profile.

(Without the latter, the AFO Premium sells for $145,000.)

Hi-fi enthusiasts who already own one or more components from the German company AVM might do well to consider the Rotation R 2.3, a similarly styled belt-drive record player manufactured by Pro-Ject. Almost two decades later, the new two-box flagship replaces the 2008's three power supplies with four: left, right, logic, and an independent standby supply. The outboard power supply is now installed in the "PowerBase" that the massive turntable chassis rests on. However, MF cautioned, its weight means that you can use it only with turntables with massive platters and/or very powerful motors. Sure enough, from the low-output AT-ART1000 (0.2mV) MF heard "microdynamic expression [that] was absolutely phenomenal: small shifts of emphasis in the strumming and drumming were clearly delineated." He concluded: "I rate this combo a complete success." Its tone was a little pale, but it excelled at rhythm and texture [and] pointed out melodies better than any cartridge I know." Power is supplied by an 18V wall wart. While MF still heard a few pops and ticks when listening to a mono album that had suffered from some "wear crackle," he found that the "wear crackle" was gone. All optical cartridges need to be used with an energizer; HR started his auditioning with the $1500 E1 energizer, then upped his game with the 003 energizer ($3500). Shaped like the classic EMT 997 "banana" tonearm but lacking that arm's offset bearing, lateral-balance outrigger weight, and dynamic downforce, the GrooveMaster II is a 12" arm primarily intended for use with Ortofon SPUs and other vintage-vibe pickup heads. Mikey thinks he noted a slight sound-softening effect, but wouldn't bet the farm on it. There are maybe half a dozen newish models. Ikeda 9Gss, Ortofon MC Century, no longer available. (Vol.39 No.8 WWW), Hana ML Moving Coil: $1200 $$$ Recommended downforce is 2.4gm. Also an excellent match for both the Music Hall Ikura and VPI Nomad turntables," he adds. Arcam CDS50. KM's go-to cartridge. (Vol.40 No.10 WWW), EMT HSD 006: $1595 It has a high impedance of 24 ohms, a high output of 1.05mV, and a moderate recommended downforce of 2.5gm. (Vol.38 No.5, Vol.28 No.5), EMT 997: $5995

(Vol.42 No.10, Vol.43 No.7 WWW), Kiseki Purpleheart (NS): $3199 And while he didn't consider the HW-40's gimbal-bearing JMW-12 Fatboy tonearm the equal of his reference SAT arm, MF said that, given the package's $15,000 price, the "very good arm is almost a freebie." In his Follow-Up in the March 2018 Stereophile, HR wrote that the Adagio is "a cool, quiet, neutral-sounding phono preamplifier, and it's a joy to use: I know of no better for under $3000." That this low-impedance (1.5 ohm) cartridge outputs a relatively healthy output (0.45mV) is further evidence of its magnetic efficiency. (Note that vdH refers to this product not as a current amplifier but as an "automatic adapting input stage"; as we say in upstate New York, same difference . The HEQ-A03-C1 is a current-amplification device, intended to yield best results with cartridges with very low internal impedancewhich also implies very low output voltage. Controls are minimal, with no provisions for varying the 400-ohm load of the MC inputsalthough, as MF observed, that figure is "a good compromise for cartridges with internal impedances of about 40 ohms or less." Compliance specs aren't supplied for the 12.7gm PC-1 Coda, but the tracking-force range is given as 2-2.2g; MF found the lower number insufficient and declared the cartridge's tracking capabilities only "moderately good" at best. Experience leads us to expect high Class B performancesuperbly low measured rumble, excellent speed stability, and very good musical involvementfrom an entry-level LP12, while previous incarnations of the full-monty LP12 have delivered true Class A sound. Dylp Audio Windbell MC100 Mono: $325 The plug'n'play RP1 (for Rega Planar One) replaces Rega's popular P1. Borderline Class B. In addition to one pair each of RCA input and output jacksmultiple primary coils aren't availablethe EMIA Phono has a third pair of jacks, wired in parallel with the primary and intended for use with resistive plugs (supplied), for cartridges that might need such things. I've had mine for about 18 months and still have a sense of quiet awe every time I listen to/through it. MF found the sound of the new P10 to be "fast, tight, well-defined, tuneful, and exciting on the bottom," adding that "anyone who thinks a lightweight 'table can't produce deep, tuneful, and well-sculpted bass should listen to the P10." Specs include an output of 0.3mV and an impedance of 18 ohms: a curious combination, as the latter seems much higher than the former would lead one to expect. "Engraved" because of the elegant scrollwork on the plinth's surface; the nonengraved version costs $2000 less. Built with a sleek aluminum-alloy case with no screws visible on any of its surfaces, the Swiss-made CH Precision P1 is no less sophisticated inside. . (Vol.30 No.10, Vol.32 No.8, Vol.33 No.6 WWW), Boulder 2108: $52,000 (Vol.42 No.12), Dr. Feickert Blackbird: $6995 The Zu DL-103 Mk.II is available in three versions, the differences between them determined by the tolerances Zu observes while hand-selecting stock Denon cartridges: Grade 1 ($599), Grade 2 ($699), and Grade 2 Premium ($999). . Notably, the titanium-bodied Ultra Eminent Ex moving coil cartridge mates an output level that's only moderately low (0.3mV) with an exceptionally low internal resistance (0.6 ohm). (Vol.37 No.10, Vol.40 No.10 WWW), Audio Origami PU7: $3000 Unlike the original JMW Memorial, the 9" arm's main bearing is directly grounded to the plinth and the stabilizing ring surrounding the arm's bearing housing is fixed. (Vol.40 No.9 WWW), Sutherland Engineering Little Loco: $3800 Output and impedance are both low0.35mV and 2.5 ohms, respectivelyand the hyperelliptical stylus tracks at 2.02.2gm. Note that the EQ11's gain and input impedance won't suit the majority of MC cartridges, for which an outboard step-up transformer is suggested. Care must be taken when cueing cartridges with the Reed arm, as moving too fast will disable the servo mechanism.

At the same time, he was even more impressed when preceding the Lamm's MM stage with the Ypsilon MC-10L step-up transformer ($6000), which "seriously upped the sound quality along with the price." After comparing the Aeon3 with other cartridges, both on the Initial and on the Dr. Feickert Blackbird turntable, HR decided that the Grado appeared to be "uncovering new, previously buried deposits of recorded microdata. Like its stablemate, the Hana SL Mono, this moving coil cartridge impressed Herb with its "naturally supple viscosity and glowing vivid tone." Slowly squeezing and releasing the trigger produces a neutral static condition, thus removing static cling from record surfaces. Pertinent specs include a low (0.5mV) output, a recommended downforce of 2gm, and a recommended load impedance of over 200 ohms. Is the Stabi R worth four times the price of the Stabi S? The verdict: "In the Master 1, DS Audio has fulfilled the promise of the original DS-W1." Combined with a Schick tonearm and Ortofon SPU cartridge, the Solid12 delivered punch, drive, force, color, richness, and pure emotional and visceral involvement. Personally, I found the Metas a bit bright and their bass response was the most lacking - not surprising given the size of the speaker cabinet.

. The 5.5"-wide bristle area easily spans the width of any LP's grooved area. However, the Dandy proved "terrific" for cleaning water-damaged and crudded-up records, MF concluded. (Vol.44 No.4 WWW), Haniwa HCTR-CO MarkII: $10,000 MF found the Verismo's sound "fast," with sharp, finely drawn high-frequency transients yet with a lush and generous midrange and a tight, nimble, well-controlled bottom end"knit together into a coherent sonic package." Audio-Technica AT95E, Lyra Atlas, Atlas SL, Atlas Mono, Etna, Etna SL replaced by new versions not yet reviewed. (Vol.41 No.4 WWW), London Maroon: $995 $$$ EMT HSD 006: $1860 (Vol.32 No.12), Ortofon 2M Blue: $239 $$$ AD is not a fan, however, though he does admit that LAST, if used correctly, does no harm. Mounted inside its rosewood housing is a motor built with samarium-cobalt magnets, 99.9999%-pure copper coils, and a boron cantilever, to which is bonded a stylus with a hyperelliptical tip. "I unhesitatingly recommend LAST Record Preservative," said Mikey, whose records sound as quiet now as they did when he first started using the treatment, over 25 years ago. (Vol.37 No.3, Vol.38 No.11, Vol.39 No.4 WWW), Thales Simplicity II Tonearm: $9450 But the sound's the thing, and in that regard, AD feels that Edmund W. Mortimer's timeless high-torque turntable design remains the surest way to retrieve all of the touch, force, color, and momentum locked in the groove. (Vol.42 No.1), Kuzma 4Point: $4470 and up MF found that the Epoch3 was similar in character to the original (and measured and tracked equally well), but "gets a better grip on everything, particularly in the bass and midbass, and is better focused." The Simplicity II occupies the middle of Thales's three-tonearm range, surpassed by the more refined Thales Statement, yet the Simplicity II shares the same basic design: It's a pivoting tangential-tracking tonearm, with two slender, elegant armtubes; a split counterweight; a ball-bearing-loaded, articulated cartridge-mounting platform; and a Cardanic main bearing. Its elliptical diamond fits perfectly aluminum low-mass cantilevers with thin walls and is easy to replace. The device is remarkable for its rigid mounting block made of light but durable die-cast aluminum. The Shure M97xE phono cartridge is equipped with a damped Dynamic Stabilizer brush to play any record. (Vol.42 No.3), Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250: $999 Even in light of a recent price increase, AD felt the MusiKraft combinations of high-tech shells and stock DL-103 cartridges offer very good value. A Delrin clamp for the platter and a thread-and-weight antiskating mechanism for the armthe latter a bit of a departure for VPIare also included, as are an easy-to-use cartridge-alignment jig and an electronic downforce gauge. Like their previous "budget" turntable, the Model 10, SME's Model 15 cuts cornersliterally, as it's built on a circular plinth. The arm's basics remain: a precision-milled armtube of rectangular cross section, static downforce, and a removable headshell for easy cartridge changes. "If that's what you can afford, the MMP3 at least gets the job done quietly and cleanly." (Vol.33 No.6 WWW), DB Systems DBP-6MC resistive loading kit: $49 The new SA-1.2 reflects a number of refinements: improved bearings, greater effective length (9.4" vs 9"), and slightly higher offset angle. In MF's estimation, the Andros Tssera "traded bottom-end authority and grippy bass for the fully developed textures and sonorous midrange that even the best solid-state designs somewhat lose track of," adding that jazz and classical music "thrived in the Andros Tssera's hands"; rock fared less well. "Rega's RP1 looks good, is easy to set up, and plays records like it means it," said SM. MF found the Kirmuss approach worthwhile for records requiring a full restoration and considered the KA-RC-1 "reasonably priced," but he's sticking with his Audiodesksysteme and Loricraft machines for routine cleaning. Micha Huber, a former watchmaker and the chief designer at the Swiss manufacturing firm Thales, has spent nearly 20 years perfecting the concept of a pivoting rather than straight-line tangential-tracking tonearm. Switching to the elliptical-stylus VM95E ($49), he wrote that "the sound had even more pulse, presence, and genuine reggae-music energy. (Bergmann claims for the Odin an effective mass of 14gm.) In a Follow-Up, MF echoed AD's praise for the original Tzar and said about the wood-bodied version, which also has a brass top plate, that it produced "all of the aluminum-bodied version's weight and 'straight from the groove to your body and brain' musical communication, but it lightened the heaviness somewhat, with some rounding and airiness where the original was angular and literal." WebThe Ortofon 2m Red MM phono cartridge is remarkable for its bright red design and producing precise sound with the expressive midrange, wider soundstage, sensitive, and Its two-piece aluminum cantilever drives a cross-shaped armature wound with several turns of fine-gauge copper magnet wire.

Created under the direction of tonearm designer Frank Schrder, the Tzar DST differs from the Neumann in its use of an aluminum body and a carbon-fiber cantilever. . (Vol.41 No.12 WWW), Ortofon MC A Mono: $4999 In a follow-up, JA noted impressive measured performance including superbly accurate RIAA equalization. while making nearly imperceptible changes in those instruments' tonalities seem beautiful and important." MF praised the Statement's construction quality"if you didn't know [it] was designed by a watchmaker, you might have guessed it anyway"and praised its image stability, bottom-end power and grip, and "solid, well-articulated [note] attacks and convincing sustains." Current-production samples of the EMT 997 incorporate a bearing housing machined from brass rather than stamped from aluminum alloy, and a better finish for the armtube. The discOveryOne is both the newest and the least expensive record-cleaning machine from the company that created the genre. . The key difference is that the Model 15 is also built with a circular subchassis, making it the most affordable SME turntable to use the brand's trademark suspension system. Just curious what to expect. Writing in the December 2016 Stereophile, AD preferred the spherical-tipped version"[it's] every inch an SPU"but by a smaller margin than he expected. Also new are an improved epoxy for holding the motor in place, and a body shape that permits the use of the Denon cartridge's original stylus guard. Its compliance, though unspecified, was observed by AD to be very lowrecommended downforce is 3.24gmand its output is a mere 0.25mV. Tracking force recommended 1.5 g (15 mN) Load resistance 47 kOhm Load capacitance 150 300 pF Weight, Cartridge 7.2 g. Weight, Premounted 16.7 g. 2M Other specs include an African blackwood body, a 16 ohm internal impedance, output of 0.23mV, a recommended downforce of 2.5gm, and a line-contact stylus that's nude-mounted in a metal ferrule, itself bonded to a tapered-bamboo cantilever. As reported in the July 2019 Stereophile, KM's review sample of the Kuzma Stabi R turntable came with a 4Point 11" ($6675 as supplied), which proved "eminently and easily adjustable." Its two-piece aluminum cantilever drives a cross-shaped armature wound with several turns of fine-gauge copper magnet wire. According to Herb, the MoFi combo "had stronger energy, achieved bigger dynamic swings, and was more detailed than comparatively priced 'tables from VPI and Rega." (Vol.41 No.3), Koetsu Rosewood Standard: $3995 Used in his SAT CF1-09 tonearm, the Anna MC Diamond rewarded MF with sound that was "joltingly fast, clean, and transparent, yet with solidity, weight, and body."

The Wand Plus, imported from New Zealand, is a missionary-style unipivot with a 7/8"-diameter carbon-fiber tube: both thicker and lighter in weight than the average aluminum tube, yet apparently no less rigid. That motor isn't outwardly visibleat first glance, the Giro might be mistaken for a direct-drive turntablebut is hidden underneath, driving the platter from a point inside its rim by means of a thin rubber belt. Web'Im Canor treffen dagegen Autoritt, Feinsinn und Farben-Vielfalt zusammen, so locker und selbstverstndlich, als wre es das Einfachste auf der Welt.' HIFI.DE MF reports better measured behavior from the TA-9000, with resonances "visibly and audibly" within the ideal window of 812Hz.

Mikey's conclusion: "$4390 buys you a piece of the highest echelon of cartridge performance for thousands fewer bucks." (Vol.23 No.11), Merrill G.E.M. Still, MF considers LP2.1 Deluxe "fully competitive with anything at or near that price."
