Suteetat's SystemMIyajima is a very differerent sounding cartridge from Kai. It won't have the same kind of smoothness of Ikeda but it is a very exciting sounding cartridge, big bold sound but not edgy or aggressiv... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemHi Number_95, I really like the Kai. The midrange reminds me somewhat of Koetsu but with extended top and bottom and better speed. It may lack a little of the Koetsu's full, rich midrange. With cer... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Suteetat's SystemZermatt, thanks for the update. I will look into BN feet as well. I think with BN feet, now it is really only the plinth that is still the original Raven AC part :) posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemKnghifi, it has been quite a few years since I had my Jadis. I bought them used but I don't remember the years though but my guess the unit was probably brand new in early 2000-2002 perhaps. posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |

Suteetat's SystemChris, Lamm is very quiet. The sound quality is excellent, a little dark but very musical, pretty much the usual Lamm house sound but it lacks flexibility as it has only 1 mm input and 1 mc input w... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |

Suteetat's SystemYes, a friend of mine brought his motor over to my place one day. It was really difficult to return the motor to my friend and waited until my motor arrived. posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemZermatt, would love to hear your impression of the BN feet. BN motor makes quite a significant improvement in my system. I am sure you will like it. posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemZermatt, I have not experimented with other feet on TW so far beside trying Magico Q-Pod which does not seems to work well with TW (but work wonders on my Playback MPS-5). I used Symposium Ultr... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |

Suteetat's SystemHi Pradeep,The cost is roughly about the same as the 3 motors unit upgrade over here. I will update the picture once I get the platter here as well. posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemDownunder, it is a bit difficult to compare the two since I never tried mounting FR64s and Koetsu Coralstone on my TW so it is hard to compare. I used to have FR/Koetsu on BL-111 and SX-777 is a ma... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemSam, thanks for the compliment. Now everything is pretty much settled and I don't have much urge to make any major changes to my system, except for adding a mono cartridge for some of my mono LPs. posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Suteetat's SystemI am very impressed with Micro Seiki. However, I have not heard the 5000 or 8000 series. A friend has BL-777 that is also very nice. Considering the price of BL-111/FR64s, it certainly competes wel... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
