Top Wing Seiryu arrives at Believe High Fidelity

Tango said:

I am interested in buying the AnalogMagik as well. I need all the tools that can help me because, I will say this out loud in the open, I suck at cartridge set up! I am probably the only vinyl person in this forum whom not good at setting up cart. I rely on my tonearm guy who makes his living of setting up carts and tt for so many systems here in Thailand. In fact I should put him on my company payroll .

So you guys don’t for one second think I know what I am doing setting up carts. I am no ddk or Peter. I only can use my ears to fine tune the setup that my tonearm guy do for me. Dietrich is another tonearm guy who does his things for me and egolessly ask me every time if it sounds right to me. Ddk will be with me in maybe a month. There shouldn’t be any question of setup by then since he did setup the RS in his system once before.

Kind regards,
Tang

Is taking out my grounding gadgets part of the cartridge setup training?

Hi Tang

What do you load the Red Sparrow at? I see it's not an MC and closer to MM in design. 47k or more normal loading of 100 ohms or similar.

Cheers

I am near sighted, have deforming arthritis and a lengthy genetic legacy of in-coordination. If I can competently set up a cartridge, anyone can do it!

Hi DeveyF,

The new tubes for my Ayon Phono are on the way. I haven’t changed tubes yet. But I don’t think this will effect much of the aspects of sound I commented. Beside the Opus1 is also using with this very same phono and on SAT as well. Only variables are tts and cartridge setting.


Kind regards,
Tang

I would suggest some exotic tube rolling into the Lamm phono stage, but this would probably not be met with much enthusiasm.

I’ll do it gladly if you can offer an alternative to the Russian 6C3P & 6C45P-E tubes.

Tango said:

Yes, the sound has a lot of family resemblances. One cart has more in degree of some attribute in comparison to another doesn’t mean it is better generally than the other imo. MSL P has nicer midbass than Opus1. Opus1 has better high extension and more holographic than MSL P. So it is really up to personal preferences. The MSL P is now on my Axiom/EMT. I took the Palladian off. I like the MSL more than the Palladian.

Kind regards,
Tang

On the Audio Exotics Forum, they’re going loco over the Red and Blue, calling them “game changers”, “end game carts”.

Tang’s analysis seems to be a bit more realistic and, dare I say it, accurate.

Maybe another example of Flavour Of The Month from the acolytes on that forum?
