    BENZ MICRO GULLWING SLR CARTRIDGE

    £2,595.00
    The Gullwing is a hybrid of the LP S class, Ruby and Glider cartridges. Like the LP S class, it uses a brass frame and is Rhodium plated for superior electrical characteristics and to visually distinguish it from the Glider (gold plated aluminum). The generator is based on the Ruby square plate and available in both .35mV and .7mV. The SLR low output is best used with phono stages offering greater than 60dB gain, loaded at 400 ohms or higher. The SHR at .7mV is ideal for tube phono stages in the 50-60dB gain range, less efficient systems, and prefers a 47kohm load.

    VIVALDI IN VENICE – CHASING THE DRAGON – 180g VIVALDI IN VENICE – CHASING THE DRAGON – 180g VINYL

In Stock @thevinyladventure

Chasing The Dragon’s first “Direct Cut” album was of the Interpreti Veneziani performing a wonderful version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. When chatting with Paolo, the orchestra’s organizer, CTD discovered the group had never taken part in a ‘live’ recording. They have always performed in the San Vidal Church which is in the Academia area of Venice. The acoustics in the church are outstanding. So after some discussion with the orchestra, they were convinced to record a live double album there. This would mean that a small crew would have to go to Venice and record 5 live concerts. It’s a dirty job, but somebody had to do it! The jump factor of this album really has to be heard!
