Visit to Todd (sbnx) Avantgarde Trio G3 in Parker, Texas
Anyway…. Kudos to @sbnx Todd for this sharing this detailed, informative and most helpful thread and bringing to life the story of what it takes and the rewards of investing a lot of time and energy into speaker set up. I’ve heard Trios many times and have some appreciation of what they can...- Bergm@nn

I have a pair of Duo XDs and agree the only speaker upgrade I would consider in this room is Duo GT. Mine are toed straight at my face and then I'm gradually moving them outwards until I lose the imagery and then will tweak them back in.- Bergm@nn

London Decca Reference to Return
Do you mind me asking what you moved on to and whether you kept either of the arm or the cart?- Bergm@nn

When you say 'was great' do you mean you've moved on/ tried something else?- Bergm@nn

I have the 7" Viv Labs and can confirm it is something quite different that produces very intriguing results that may make you scratch your head.- Bergm@nn

FWVLIW I've owned both of those carts and for my ears and in my set up the ART-1000 was significantly better. Audio Technica have probably sold a decent number of ART-1000s and its interesting that you rarely see one on the second hand market*. Maybe this indicates that a. they're happy with...- Bergm@nn

Given that all those cartridges you mention sound very different to each other I think this is one of those moments where there is no substitute for first hand experience. Ideally it would be good if you could get opportunity to have a listen for yourself before deciding. Enthusiastic...- Bergm@nn

Well the answer to your questions involves a bit of 'it depends'. Reviews can be useful to some extent but of course include a whole heap of variables that can make them then difficult to translate into practical use. Different equipment, different music, different tastes and so on. So...- Bergm@nn

Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?
Not sure how much of the above is strictly on topic anymore. Can the handbags be shunted onto another thread which I’m not following, or preferably put away all together.- Bergm@nn

Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?
I really don't understand why the prosecutorial approach would have anything to do with a lot of what most ordinary people would see as 'audiophile mumbo-jumbo'. Rather than trying to fight out in court what is the best mastering process etc, isn't this just about proving that the records...- Bergm@nn

Horns with SS amp instead of Tube (se)!?
Until recently I had a Pass XA30.8 power amp running with Duo XDs and it was very nice indeed. However the addition of a Dartzeel preamp meant that the total gain in front of the speakers produced too much hiss. The Pass was regrettably sacrificed and replaced with a pair of very nice SIT...- Bergm@nn

Initial impressions home demoing Dartzeel NHB-18NS
Off to have a new set of replacement batteries fitted to the 18NS tomorrow :) As I'm likely to pay the balance off on the unit too, I'm rather hoping that listening to the unit via battery power as intended makes a reasonable audible difference!- Bergm@nn
