    While I'm thinking about it...technical question: The Lyra's are hand-tuned...does that mean there is no real "break-in", as the cartridge's sound has been established at Lyra? If there is actual break-in, won't that impact the desired sound? FWIW, each Lyra I've installed over the years sounded great immediately and I never really noticed change over 50, 100 hrs,

    • @commandav1
      @commandav1 15 днів тому

      That is an excellent question. The cartridges are hand tuned to a specific sound. That the benchmark for when they leave the factory. The cartridges do improve with breaking over the first 100 or hours. Jeff

  • @DaveC.-dd5us
    @DaveC.-dd5us 16 днів тому

    I have gone through a Lyra Argo (i), two Lyra Delos', and now use the Kleos SL, which is really a very nice cut above the Delos. I use the Luminous Audio Technology ARION II phono pre (64 dB) with fantastic results. I'm putting on ~600-700 hrs/year, and I get a lot of hours out of the Lyra's, I but still can't justify the Etna SL or Atlas SL at such a consumable rate at this point. But who knows what mood I'll be in when replacement time comes...

    Jeff, Nice video. Very interested in SOTA myself...either the Nova VII (w/vacuum & Eclipse package) or the Cosmos Eclipse (w/vacuum). Having a hard time justifying the cost difference, but still investigating. Also, it really looks like your table there is Cherry (not Walnut...unless it is a very light walnut and the camera is tricking me).

  • @marksironi3324
    @marksironi3324 Місяць тому

    I've been using Lyra carts exclusively since 1999. I'd love to move up to an Atlas or Etna but I put 700-900 hours on a cart every year. That makes for a pretty expensive maintenance cost every 12-18 months, so I limit myself to a Kleos.

      Hi. This model is certainly too expensive for the vast majority of students. I certainly could not afford it when I was a student. There are some great and more affordable products to get started with like the Bluesound Powernode or WiiM Amp. We offer a trade-up policy to get people started on their journey. Many brick and mortar dealers offer such plans. To me, the journey of moving up through more expensive gear is part of the fun.

    Hi, thanks for this helpful video. The manual shows 6 - 16 grams cartridge balance range. Does that mean 4 or 5 grams cartridges won't be a good match for the TA-1000 NEO? Interestingly, the previous non-NEO version of the tonearm suggests 4 - 16 grams cart balance range.

      We have not tried a cartridge less the 6 grams, but I would avoid that combination.

    Taking things over the top, again - a record player costing more than $100 is not there for the music but for the ego of the user - this is like buying a Rolex when you already have a digital watch giving you precise time - all the time - but people like to play around and temper their ego and impress others with what they can afford.

      I totally agree that floating suspension turntables are superior to those that rely on plinth mass. The used Sota Sapphire I purchased recently is better than the Comet I used to own which was superior the Technics 1200 I owned before it. The Sapphire along with the Grado Opus 3 cartridge just sounds absolutely glorious on everything!!

    It is possible that there is not enough dampening fluid in the lift. Before talking to your dealer about a replace. Try exercising by raising and lower 10 times (not using a record). If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

    HI just bought the KC Vibe to replace my Project DS2. My Project started losing channel separation on my Mofi Ultradeck. I noticed you had the DS2 in the background on this video. Have you ever heard of this issue, it would play but like the song Girl from Ipanema the woman’s was totally muffled and distant yet the sax and Joao’s voice was front and center. I bypassed the DS and went directly to my Receiver and it played perfect. If you have any input I’d appreciate it. Thank you

I loved my first budget systems too, but there is no comparison in ANY shape or form to my current 100K stereo/cinema system. On a budget I listened to music, with hi end I experience music. It's like every time I play music I'm sitting in the front row at a concert. Stunning berillium resolution, instrument seperation, sense of space and low 19htz bass. Some of my cds I've known very well for over 30 years, but only now I can hear for the first time sound frequencies which were not possible to reproduce before.

    I had that same arm then upgraded to the TA 5000. Great sounding arm and well engineered apart from one thing. The counter weight has 3 grubscrews to nip up to keep in place once set. Only one needs nipping the 3 positions just help with access. The problem with this design is it is not good engineering as you have a grub screw bearing down on a thread which is ridiculous to any skilled engineers mind. I put broken matchstick down the hole to protect the threads, but then it wont tighten firm enough which isn't good. Over time you finish up with a damaged thread on the stub. On tonearms costing many thousands Acoustic Signature should do better than this as this is typical on all their arms so I would not buy another. Last year I upgraded again to the Origin Live Agile, which is a better design and engineering, apart from the rest clip which is plastic and breaks. I find this arm sonically is far superior but it is expensive. The A.S. Decks are excellent I have the Thunder but even on that one slight poor design on the Tonearm fixing collar but not a serious one I wont go in to, but really kit in this price bracket should be better refined. Excellent design engineers with great minds, but many of them have never done anything practical on the bench, and its the hands on craftsmen that see these flaws instantly.
