Koetsu
Arturo imported Koetsu carts for decades to Europe (Axiss Europe) and knows the brand (and the Sugano family) very well. It seems, that he spent a longer time in Japan to make the rebirth of the Koetsu brand possible. I am very happy about his success...- shakti

Antipodes Oladra into Lampizator Horizon
Hi Charlie, the older Oladra Generations do not have a good USB out, as no real reclocking is happening, Only AES/EBU or SPDIF or I2S do benefit from the better clock. The latest Oladra model will have a reclocked USB as well. the Kala 50 ha a much cheaper chassis. Using the music server in... -
Anyone got any experience of the Glanz MH-124S tonearm?
My favorite headshell in Glanz MH-1200s is the Phasemation CS-1200 headshell.

Looks like, that Glanz arms like DLC coated parts :) Depending on the market , the price...- shakti

My Little Barn
Interesting comparison and findings. It looks like, that different tonearms have a strong influence, Using the Glanz MH-124s or the AS Axion tonearm the PP-5000 outperformed the Etsuro Gold. Using my SME 3012r the Etsuro was the better match. Both with EA-2000 phonostage as well. For...- shakti
