Shindo Masseto + Zeiss Dominar L (1953) + ZEISS IKOVOX D (1953)





2. System 2 (for mono vinyl)
Shindo 300B Ltd + V.O.T.T. (Vitavox ??150+S2, 1940"s)


3. System 3 (For PC)

Thank you! I also like this sound. More and more time I began to listen only mono records.

Thank You!
Yes, there are many enthusiasts of quality analog audio here! And there are very interesting sound systems of 1920-1940.

Have you ever compared the EMT mono cart to Miyajima zero?

Yes, they have different sound.
EMT is an old ortofon, the sound is very dense and powerful. But on frequencies up to 15.000. Therefore, on EMT it is good to listen to old mono vinyl (up to the 60's). Also, good old vinyl sounds on the SPU's ortofon.
Miyajima zero can be compared with modern (from 2000's) EMT or modern mono Ortofon. And on a new or from the 90's vinyl. Here it sounds good. But I love the old vinyl and the old sound. It is more sincere.

Hi, did you hear the new EMT mono, TMD 25, on old mono classical records? How does it compare to the OFD?

I didn’t like it. The sound is not so rich and dense
