    Belt Drive vs Direct Drive and which one?

    Hate to side-track these discussions but who has had direct experience using the Top Wing Suzaku?

    Belt Drive vs Direct Drive and which one?

    So was researching info on the Suzaku and came across this info on another Forum thread. "The Top Wing Suzaku is clearly a moving magnet. My understanding is that the low output is a consequence of using a very small coil to minimise capacitance and minimise inductance in the overall design -...

    Is this the Topwing cartridge you are referring to? Suzaku https://www.topwing.jp/RedSparrow.html

    Belt Drive vs Direct Drive and which one?

    At this point they both sound a bit different can't say which I like better. I can say that with my MSL Sig Platinum, it sounds better on the AFU1 than the Safir, a better match IMO but I still like the SoundSmith Sussurro Gold LE more on the Safir. Crazy how things change from arm to arm.

    Belt Drive vs Direct Drive and which one?

    2 completely different tables and arms. I saw and quickly used the Reed 5T at last year's Axpona and thought it looked and sounded wonderful listening through some Franco Serblin Ktema speakers and Air Tight amps. Will be interested in hearing your thoughts between the 2 setups. I recently got...

    Esoteric to Bricasti?

    Would like to hear your impressions of using the M21 direct (when not using vinyl) and then adding in the M20. This is something I'll have to try myself someday although with my M12. Enjoy ;)

    Esoteric to Bricasti?

    Couldn't agree more! I'm less than 30 minutes away. Got to actually watch them drill out a 2nd port on the back of my M12 so I now have dual ports, a LAN & IS2 connections. Wish you luck with your new gear.

    Esoteric to Bricasti?

    Hi @Macattack just curious why you are selling your M32's? A short while ago I brought in a new pair of M28's to compare to my M25 and even after 30 days of use going back to my M25 I preferred the M25. Had 2 other guys over and we went back and forth and the M25, in my system and to my ears...

    Furutech project V1

    The PSD is closer to the Furutech Pure Power 6 NCF Super Barrier Power Distributor that retails at $9800. The only thing I don't like about the PP6 is its ergonomics with the connections off each of the 3 sides instead of the top. As for the PSD units I've now owned 3 units and currently have...

    My Little Barn

    Thanks @dcc . Are you suggesting the cable from the RCA'S to headshell? Or RCA'S from back of arm to SUT or phono-pre? I'll be 1st trying a new Signature Silver Series by Audiomica for that connection. What headshells would you recommend?

    My Little Barn

    @dcc I've ordered the CS Port AFU1 linear tracker and hope it will be shipping in a few weeks. I ordered it with just the too plate to mount on my TAT1M2 but will have to remove my Safir arm. Easy process just to remove 2 screws on the mounting plate. Any suggestions when setting up the AFU1...

    Kuzma SAFIR 9

    It was fine just a bit "polite" sounding. I wanted a bit more energy and life, the Sussuro has that but it does lack the inner detail and transparency that the MSL has. As I had stated above, to me the MSL Gold Sig was a better match for my taste.
