    Miyajima Labs Cartridges

    Just want to agree with this. I have a number of original and reissue mono records and there is definitely a sense of space (more vertical than horizontal), but the tonality is just so right. Using Miyajima zero infinity also. My phono preamp (ARC 3SE) isn't mono, but it doesn't seem to...

    Miles Davis Kind of Blue meets Analogue Productions' UHQR

    Could be -- I didn't match levels; just seemed like transients jumped out more -- could be due to louder pressing and/or higher cartridge output.

    Miles Davis Kind of Blue meets Analogue Productions' UHQR

    I love the reissue. I play back with OK system (see my sig). Somehow, the original and reissue mono records are much more dynamic than the stereo versions -- hard to say where that comes from. My Miyajima Infinity Mono might be part of it, but dynamics are much more intense in mono. The...

    60 Tube watt mono blocks enough for 805 Nautilus

    I used the ARC VT60 and Shindo Montille (~20W) stereo amps with a pair for a number of years and it seemed great to me. They even sort of worked with 300b SETs, but couldn't go really loud. They are in storage now, but I would like to try them again with my ARC 160M monoblocks in triode mode.

    Miyajima Labs 1.0 mil Infinity Mono

    I just installed the Miyajima Infinity 0.7 with Ikeda 407 arm on Garrard 301. Listening to my dad's old monos, some I have bought over time and reissues. Preliminary feeling after a few hours -- either old monos were really dynamic or the cartridge is just adding some kind of amazing...
