    Analogue Heaven in Paris - My Visit to Ana Mighty Sound

    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...

    Schroder CB users...Question about tuning this arm??

    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...

    Schroder CB users...Question about tuning this arm??

    Hi David, which cartridge are you using in combination with this arm ? Which cartridge mounting plate have you used ? What about your phonostage ? A picture of your arm in situation would be nice. Otherwise one of the ways to have more controlled bass is to tighten the screw of the lower part...

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    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...

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    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.

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    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...

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    Significant. Everything is fine until you compare the Libra 300B to the Dionysos.

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    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...

    My Journey With SUTs

    My definition of luxury when it comes to setting up a turntable : having someone you completely trust (Frédéric...) to do the first step of setting up the turntable and than me coming after that to put the cherry on the top... :D More seriously being two to set-up turntables together allows us...

    My Journey With SUTs

    Hi there ! Tonearm geometry is never really universal. It all depends on how the vinyl you are reading has been elaborated. Personally I prefer to use Baerwald geometry on short arms and Lofgren on longer arms, but... we kept to "SAT geometry" for Denis arm. When you have different tonearms...

    Zero Distortion: Analog Shootout at Anamighty Sound, Paris

    @ Karel : it is just an evolution of our first Ana Mighty Vinyl Show that we held in Paris a few years ago and... that you attended ! Some tonearms are more easy to set up quickly than others. The Schick is good example with removable head shells and headshells previously prepared. The...

    Thank you Kedar for your kind words and appreciation(s) about our work ! We are above all analog (addicts) dedicated, speakers well... this is really a tough subject for us.
