Re: What cartridges are you using?
Jeff, How does the Etna compare with the Teatro on the AMG in your experience? I have not tried the Teatro with the AMG yet, but plan to shortly. (Since I have both.)

Re: What cartridges are you using?
You should give the Teatro a try, its really a great sounding cartridge for its moddest price.....and it absolutly belongs on a great table like the AMG as does the Etna. Both shine in thier own way and wouldn't kick either to the curb, I feel there is room for both in my home.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Thanks Jeff, the Teatro goes on next Tuesday. I've had it a couple of months, but have used the Etna since day one. I felt the same way after I used the Teatro on a Rega P3 loaner. Both shine... The Teatro should be REALLY good on the AMG. I love the Etna, but I'm just curious and since I own it, I might as well try it. My Dallas dealer, (Audio Concepts) has offered to switch them around anytime I want. I think I'm a little too shaky to do it myself. I offered to help Mark, but he said he would switch the cartridges for free if I left him alone, and charge me if I helped...
I have three SUT's, so I'm hoping one matches well with the Teatro. If not, the iPhono will be called to duty. The MC input for my preamp is designed for an SPU and will not be a good fit.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
No, I'm using the Etna into the Lyra Erodion SUT and then into the phono input of my preamp. Which is a Shindo Giscours.
I'll start off with the Teatro into that, or I also have an A23 and a Bob's 1131 Cinemag I will try.Bill

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Just bought a Lyra Etna and mounted last week. Only about 6 hours. Tracking at 1.75 gm on a Triplanar VII into a very heavily modified Pass Labs Xono. Still working on cartridge loading and breaking it in. Thanks for your help Bill!

That particular cartridge I heard at a friends. That is my next cartridge to finish off my collection. It is an amazing cartridge for the money.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
I had an Eminent GL, I have not tried the BC. The GL was a superb cart, after a long break-in period I traded mine and replaced it with a Mutech RM Kanda. 4900 is high for a BC, the street price in Japan is ~3,900 USD. Originally Posted by Mike

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Mike: The Etna's recommended tracking force is 1.68 to 1.78g (1.72 g recommended). The 9.2 gm weight of the cartridge, its compliance of 12×10 cm/dyne , and 11 gm effective mass of the Triplanar VII make them perfectly matched so far as I can tell by listening.
The tonal color and balance of this cartridge is phenomenal. It is not overtly analytical. It's very immediate and very lively, but the images are fleshed out with sustain and body too, so it's not thin sounding. It's a big sound and can be exciting; not at all polite or delicate. Frequency extremes and sound stage space are still developing with break-in so it's hard to tell where they'll end up. Bass and treble are there, but don't call much attention to themselves. Extreme highs aren't yet airy and lowest bass notes aren't yet bottomless and lack some impact. It is still a little tight and hasn't opened up much. Early on it could be just a little HiFi sounding at times. There's been a very slight hardness, but only on a few occasions, but that seems to be gradually being replaced by a touch of sweetness. Most of the reviews say something like it's a cartridge for all types of music and I can believe that based on what I've heard so far.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Mike.....its a fantastic cartridge, exellent drive and pace, everything just flows, its very well balanced through out the entire range. Doesn't over do the top end either like some of the newer cartridges seem to do now a days. Its not overly warm nor to lively, just right to me.......Sound stage is wide and deep, plenty of layering. I like its cantilever out front, makes it a breeze to really fine tune. Over all I find its one of the very best available today, regardless of cost. Originally Posted by Mike

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Jeff, I've heard it's not a meaty sound, a little thin. Thoughts?

Re: What cartridges are you using?
I use Audio Technica AT-OC9 ML III...with VPI Classic 3...Great sound with good presence and sound in 3 dimensions...precision and vocal are excellent. But I'm thinking, it lacks bass.
I'm very happy to know if others persons listen it and give me your opinions.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
the AT0C9, like the Denon 103 series carts is something everyone should own once. I loved the original 0C9 when i used one eons ago. I recently brought in an AT ART9 the 0C9's big bro, he let me break it in for him before sending it on and I was very impressed so much so i'm going to acquire one for myself.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Tonight I am listening to my Lyra Titan. It's on a table that I dont always keep hooked up to my system, but when I do hook it up I am always amazed at the clarity and detail of this cartridge. Someday I have to get off of my butt and build a dedicated listening room that allows me to keep multiple tables so I can use it more regularly.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Just upgraded the stock 2M Red to the 2M Bronze. I first ran the Bronze stylus on the Red body for about 6 hours, and now about another 9 hours on the Bronze body. Absolutely zero IGD. And I also don't get all these people saying this cart is bright, analytical or "forensic"... At least, nothing of the sort on my system.

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Hi,
New guy here. My favourite seems to be the Koetsu Blue Azule mounted on a VPI 3D arm with VPI HRX table
I also like Benz Micro LPS, Ortofon Cadenza Bronze
I don't like VDH Colibri
Regards,
Joe Ling

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Oh no! Sorry to hear about your Cadenza Bronze.
As for the VDH, is "high rez" a good thing?

Re: What cartridges are you using?
Mike,
This is may too early to summarize the characteristic of Canary, high rez means I'm hearing more compare previous one. speaking of childhood where we are using 16x color pencils vs 24/32 pencils, you get more complex colors palette. It's crystal clear without veiled, 3 dimensional with high airy between each instrument's and maintaining solid image, clean and the precision.
The challenge maybe this cart will give no mercy to bad pressing record, and I missed the sweetness and warmish of my bronze
Huge difference between these 2 cartsJesse

You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
