Galibier Gavia table with Triplanar VII and Analog Instruments Siggwan arms.
Although I have never had the pleasure of hearing the Gavia, I've heard nothing but wonderful things about it and I think the world of Thom. He is definitely a "class act" in the audio community and we are blessed to have him
Best wishes,
Don
No. Not from what I have heard so far. Both are on the same table now, so in the future I can compare the same cart.
Cheers
The tonearm cable is Audio Tekne and the wire wrapped around the arm tube is for the Dava field coil power supply.
SAT and AS Tang?
I have a suspicion J Carr never designed his Lyra's to go onto the somewhat flimsy SME headshell , let alone the 3012-R
The SAT didn't work well on the AS when I heard it with GFS (sounded wrong) and iirc tang preferred it on SAT on techdas. It sounded great on Gian's SAEC so Tang later bought that arm and think it sounded good on it. Jcarr used it with fr64 till he moved to SAT
Yea, Jonathon designs his carts for the headshell to dissipate most of the energy from the cartridge - flimsy headshell/tonearms need not apply.
no such thing as best, as synergy plays such an important part - even if one does not know why the synergy is even there
dynavector XV-1s sounded really good when I had the 3012-R on the TW - no idea why.
