Yes, the Frog is on the bright side but with older Jazzrecords it could be a wonderful system. It has only played about 50hours. I think the top end will be a little bit more reserved after more hours.

At this place no is a Schroder CB arm and a Soundsmith MIMC. I love this combination!

I had hoped this would allow one or the other to stand out. Sorry, to my ears, no discernable difference, and that's despite the two different tonearms used. PERHAPS that is why they sound so similar! Also, I wonder if the sound is going from the phonostage directly to the recording device/medium as the sound is so CLEAN and my Dynavector XX MK II (same model) on a Rega RP 10 doesn't sound nearly as good as this recording.

@@Orangeaudio1 I appreciate your comment, but I was actually describing something different than tonal balance. I was implying that the use of squeaky-clean audiophile approved LPs are "soft-balls", as LPs anybody can play. Real vintage LPs that were actually played by real people many moons ago are real tests. Playing the typical Dire Straits, "female vocals", and audiophile quality blues LPs do not tell anybody if a cartridge really has "the stuff".

@@robertpincus6528 Here i to less space to talk this topic what it is worth. I agree that today vinyl´s often have to much high´s and low end. For me the music happens in the mid´s and there often win older productions. I have a little recording studio and here a lot of mastertapes. The sound of tapes from the 50/60/70`s years is outstanding and vinyl has absolute no chance. Back to the VDH Frog, i have here a recording from Kari Bremnes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGTWiJpubpiKlac This vinyl has so much top end, that it is unhearable with it.

Midnight Blue is always a winner. You almost have to wonder if 'ol Rudy didn't wasn't trying to make ear candy that day! Re. modern recordings, top end is only one issue. Digital reverb is a joke, and it's a band aide for 2nd rate recording engineers, and audiophiles with lousy systems. The fact that 90% of high end demos use digitally reverbed recordings is very sad. People who demo phono cartridges on recordings doused in digital reverb are hopeless. Thanks for choosing better LPs. When you can play a 1951 Heifetz 10" as quit and clean as a 180 gram jazz record then you know you've arrived

Schöner Vergleich, aber nicht ganz einfach über KZbin nachzuvollziehen. Kenne das DVxx2 sehr gut. Scheint etwas voller im Bass und Grundton zu klingen als das Frog. Bei der Blues Stimme und Singer Songwriter ein tolles System aber etwas "gemütlich". Das Frog scheint da ein wenig heller, schneller und schlanker in den Mitten & Oberbass zu sein. Mehr kann ich unter diesen Bedingenung nicht raushören. Hoffe mein Eindruck stimmt so im Grossen Ganzen. Habe mit Kopfhörer am i Mac verglichen. Gruss aus Erftstadt Horst PS: DV und Frog beide an 100 Ohm?
@Orangeaudio17 жыл бұрын
Hallo Katja, ich war auch enttäuscht wie wenig von dem doch sehr deutlichen Unterschie übrig bleibt. Auf der Anlage selbst, ist der Unterschied massiv und entspricht ziemlich genau dem, was Du geschrieben hast. Das DV klingt sehr warm, zurückhaltend, analog. Bei keiner Platte klingt es gestresst. Das Frog läuft nochmal deutlich ruhiger in der Rille. Zuvor lief parallel ein EMT JSD6. Als ich das Frog das erste Mal auf die Platte setzte, war ich total überrascht, wie leise es die Leerrille abtastet. Zudem hat es im Hochton deutlich mehr Auflösung und hat eine viel größere Bühne. Zu 90% bevorzuge ich klar das Frog. Nur zu hell aufgenommene Platten machen damit keinen Spaß. Was mir immer wieder auffällt, am Kopfhörer kann man eine breite Bühne/Staffelung überhaupt nicht beurteilen. 100Ohm an beiden, ja. Das Frog kann man auch mit 200, 300 oder 1kOhm laufen lassen. Je nach Aufnahme...ich bin aber bei 100 hängen geblieben. Mir ist klar, dass das DV weniger Innenwiderstand hat und viele es mit 50Ohm laufen lassen. Bei mir, mit dem gut bedämpften Multilayer Carbonrohr des OL-Armes, verträgt es eigentlich noch mehr an Abschlusswiderstand. Es sind aber keine Welten, was sich hier tun. Bei MM-Systemen und einer variierenden Kapazität tut sich da mehr.
