    I wish that principle had been applied to the members we lost. "Cancel culture" anyone???

    Koetsu

    All of this is fine, but the big NO is the future prospects of owning Koetsu, with the company being defunct, buying a new cartrige means a finite ownership span with no prospects of a rebuild. With the factory rebuild being offered when the company was functioning meant almost indefinite...

    High Mass thread Drive

    Have to agree on the design appeal, I was impressed with it since I saw one in Vlad Lamm's home years ago. And a friend of mine has one in his system now. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to buy it if I could afford it, but I can't. Just ask my wife, she'll tell you.

    Best pure MM stage for SUT?

    They are more similar than different, maybe a bit more HF energy with RADA. It's not bright even in the slightest. Both are very organic and quite musical. RADA is twice more expensive, but both are pretty affordable compared to similar quality counterparts.

    Best pure MM stage for SUT?

    RADA Precious One Misho Myronov Wooden RIAA Both are MM only very minimalist and pure design, both are excellent with Ypsilon MC L SUT I have both at the moment
  23. Maril555

    step up what a beautiful passion

    I have two phono stages- RADA Precious one and Misho Myronov “Wooden RIAA”- both are MM only, single input. SUT is Ypsilon MC-10L The only potential problem with SUTs is induced hum, placement can get complicated, as well as the TT- tonearm grounding configuration.

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Surprisingly 2A3 amps drive them so well, I would have expected at least 20-30 Wt needed to drive them realistically.

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    Is it just me, or Bob's videos of Diesis Triode are the best sounding ones posted here? Different recordings admittedly, but still- very balanced, open, great detail and texture. No significant faults really.
