About this deal

The diamond looks like it might not be mounted quite straight, but the magnification of my loup isn't sufficient to be sure. The upper frequencies, in particular, are certainly more pronounced than the Shure but, all the while, still maintaining a smooth and enjoyable presentation. From the graph above, you see below 8kHz the process is only good enough for a 20dB (10 to 1) separation. The piano solos also had a vibrancy about them, with wonderfully clean ringing sounds to the notes and a good weight to the lower registers.

I think it could work well in the new Technics SL1500C with a separate preamp such as my ifi Zen or possibly work well using a Project Classic Evo.The VM540ML provides plenty details, dynamics and openness without becoming overly analytical or fatiguing. de measurements and reverse maths, I was able to build a 'flattening EQ curve' for my VM540ML/VM740ML which is within +/-0. I would also expect the crackling to be apparent when the record is played with my Apheta 3 and Art 9xi and it isn't.

This is consistent with measurements made in Audio, High Fidelity and Stereo Review magazines when the Micro Ridge (Line) first arrived in the 80s.Listening to this album is a transportive experience and if there’s one type of music that a turntable setup must excel at for me, it is stuff like this. Kenny Burrell’s rhythm guitar work, while more of a background element in this song, comes thorough sounding fully formed and rendered, complete with detectable slides down the neck and ample string detail. The curve is more consistent and balanced, but still shows the open presentation in the top end like in the graph above.
