Dear Massimo,
it was a real pleasure to welcome such a gentleman as you. Next time please do come with your wife and let’s have dinner all together.
Looking forward our next meeting either in Palermo or Paris ! ;)
Dear Lagonda,
I have been checking my spam box with no trace of your request. Most of the time we cannot repair Benz cartridges due to the fact that the cantilever is continuous piece of boron going through the coil former. Replacing the cantilever will add mass to the moving mass and thus...
Dear Massimo,
Thanks to Denis and this thread I found out about your retip inquiries that were (as your email) in our spam box ! I am coming back to you quickly.
Yes : it is of crucial importance. Each cartridge reacts different and needs a proper torque. I do not believe on this point about a universal torque figure for setting up all cartridges.
The counterweight in itself is certainly one of the parts of a tonearm most exposed to high vibrations...
Hi David,
which cartridge are you using in combination with this arm ? Which cartridge mounting plate have you used ? What about your phonostage ?

Otherwise one of the ways to have more controlled bass is to tighten the screw of the lower part...
Both vinyl and tapes sound excellent. Of course … the musical content is outstanding.
If anybody wants to listen to either of these formats : feel free to come and visit us at Ana Mighty Sound in Paris. You can also purchase both records and tapes through Jerome Sabbagh and come and collect...

Dear Gian60,
Ana Mighty Sound is quite close to Thrax and we have had the chance to do a few times world premieres of Thrax products like the Libra 300B preamp in last November 2019 Paris Haute-Fidélité show or the brand new Lyra SE which have an upcoming review in December issue of French hifi...
That is exactly my point : if you want the full darTZeel experience than stick to the a complete darTZeel line. It is a very unique and astonishing performance.
Hi Ashandger,
Comparing Thrax and darTZeel electronics is quite a tough exercise. In our Parisian showroom we have customers who are pro darTZeel and others pro Thrax and it is always interesting to make them meet with one another as you see two sets of really different approaches to what can...
Hi There, just sent you a PM.
The Dionysos is a wonderful preamp. Perfectly transparent and yet not boring. Very natural and spontaneous with one of the best soundstage I know (super low background noise). No ground loop issues with multiple ground array possible, two outputs either in...
Working on it... I am sending you as soon as I am back from my holidays a Consolidated Audio SUT which will work with the Grand Cru of David and a Mini Nano SUT that will work with your VdH Master Signature XGW.
