After i see PT today, i think you got a very good deal.
The New feet look different with the other one use on Tango speaker, Any things to share? Any vibration improve or that is another things?
I believe it is the Ortofon Flagship MC Winfield. 發哥, we might be there at the same time. Were you the one wearing glasses at around 1:30pm? The experience was a very good one.
Yes, I went there at around 2pm and listen to Bergmann pairing with Zanden phono...all except the phono are the same as the first time I heard it. The LP master has put more effort in matching the impedance between the cartridge and Zanden phono making the balance between soundstage and texture/contents very pleased to my ears.
What attracts me most from this new TT is the dynamical impact in all frequencies which is full of energy, punchy, jumpy but certainly not deliberately. It is not difficult for me to envisage if retrofitting it into my current system using a pair of SMR EE as phono cable together with a tailor made SRC Ohio XL2, this new TT will produce flying colors.
Lucky Charles and DSo that AE has unleashed this right at the time when they are about to embark into the vinyl project.
You need painstaking pateince to get the amount of air right for such design. When it is all said and done, I always prefer air-borne solution than hard coupling design. My Kuzma air arm is one of the best in the world, but I don't like the platter, a bit noisy and over-exaggerate the impact of the lower mid-bass (system depednent). Try to ask some people who play real cello and comment on cello reproduction on either the Kuzma and the Raven. The answer is always the same very good sound, but a real cello cannot reproduce so much energy than the recording. I check this for 10 years in many hard-coupling design. But for symphonic scores, such design always delivers the impact. I like it sometimes, I dislike it sometimes, depends on what kind of music I like.
Well, the bass foundation of such design is always solid, and I hear no discerning differences between Kuzma and Raven in this regard. Raven clearly has a blacker background but the magic of the kuzma comes from the arm. The combination of air-borne solution on the arm and hard coupling solution for the platter is clever but the duality solution is also present in the final sound.
A complete air-borne solution should be theoretically the best but I got to listen myself.

"栢文"+Zanden phono"+"PR-T1"+"805" 推康寧, 我夠胆推斷將會是一個絕對的音樂體驗. 查兄, 我期侍七月五日的來臨
Marvel, Hows the Air bearing sound to you?
