    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    I’m a swede born not far from Copenhagen moving to Norway a long time ago actually :cool: They are (obviously) not in the same arm, Elite in linear tracker Odin and DaVa in FR64s, but the both go in to the same phono, the Lampi MC2 silver, using the same internal stepups (and the rest of the...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    I had great results when changing the original feet on my Modi to Galder feet. I was not prepared for the improvement that would make. At first, everything sounded, or appeared, a tad more bright (not something I enjoy) but I quickly realized that it was not brightness I heard, but lack of...

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    Been playing with my DaVa for 2 straight days now. Just rounded 40 hours on it and it keeps getting better in terms of being fuller and more organic. The details and dynamics has been there all the time. I am really happy with it. A few interesting things happened. I have been struggling since...

    Best phono stage?

    Sorry for interupting your discution gents, but the “smoother sound” intrigues me. Is there any particular dc-blocker you would recommend Atmasphere, or would any one do?

    Natural Sound

    Thank you for the thorough description Peter. Very interesting to read. I’m still under break in and have only played 25 LP sides on my Elite and, as I wrote, it’s mounted in a new arm for me so I can’t draw any conclusions just yet, but appreciating the thoughts and experience from someone with...

    Natural Sound

    Good morning Peter, If I remember correctly, you also had your Grand Cru upgraded to the Elite? Do you feel yours is leaner now as an Elite than when it was a Grand Cru? The reason I'm asking is that with some more hours on my Elite (also upgraded from Grand Cru to Elite) I kind of feel it has...

    van den Hul Colibri Grand Cru

    I did. I specified the effective mass on my Odin (which is similar to med Reed 3P so I can swap between them).

    van den Hul Colibri Grand Cru

    Yes, this is my experience too. I have had a few Colibris in my house, from the standard Colibri>Stradivarius>Grand Cru>Elite and (besides the Elite, which I haven’t tried yet) they all sounded best that way in my setup. My G.C had a very shallow cantilever angle so I wasn’t able to fully push...

    van den Hul Colibri Grand Cru

    Only very early first impressions. Haven’t worked on the fine adjustments other than VTF. Don’t put too much in to it.

    van den Hul Colibri Grand Cru

    Detailed, rich, balanced and smooth with deep bass and delicate highs. Then the rest of the family made me join them on some cross-country skiing. :eek:

    van den Hul Colibri Grand Cru

    Received my Grand Cru Elite a few weeks ago. Upgraded from standard G.C to Elite as it was sent to VdH for the 300 hour service. Today I got it mounted in my Bergmann Odin arm. Excited to hear how it performs in the linear tracking Odin.

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    My DaVa has gotten some more hours on it and what an amazing sounding cart this is. Dynamics and attack, great three dimensionality and a bass fundament close to what I often hear on tape from my Studer, yet balanced and linear. Could not be more happy with my newest cart purchase. Next up is...

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    Magnesium headshell to be fitted with the DaVa arrived yesterday. 14 grams as from Darius recommendations with the FR64s arm. Just need to make sure I have short enough screws. Not longer than 4-4,5 mm or they will penetrate the coils.
