    Umbilical Between Triton and Typhon

    Can anyone who has experimented with different lengths tell me if length of cable makes a difference to performance of Typhon? I just consider the length as parameter. I experienced different power cords and each of them had a direct impact to the sound. But I could not have chance to try same...

    Phasemation PP-1000 Cartridge

    I recently borrowed PP-1000 cartridge from a good friend (that is what friends are for!) and finally installed it yesterday and my initial impressions are nothing short of impressive. Again thanks to my friend that the cartridge has left its burning in behind so from the first minute I had the...

    Dark Field SS vs Dark Field DFE v2

    I have been using DFE v2 under speaker cables for a while (6 each) and compared to my previous DIY wood elevators, my assessment was to prefer DFE v2 due to higher resolution of mids and highs, blacker backgrounds while I had some reservations (gradual softening some of dynamics and mid tones...

I never used to feel like using the fluid since I installed the tonearm which even from the beginning it performs rock solid. I decided to see the impact via adding a bit less than initial recommended level. The result was a...

    Dynavector XV-1t

    Considering that cartridge. Did listen to 1s and really liked it (with SME 20/12 + V-12). I am curious if any 1s or 1t owners using them with heavier tonearms? How does 1s compare to 1t as price tag is 2 times? I consider to use with second tonearm which is 12" Ikeda 407. My Graham Elite is...
