I have a ZU Denon DL103 mc cartridge and liked it very much however I wanted to try MM once again. When I inadvertantly broke the cantelever on the Denon, I went back to a MM cartridge. I asked some questions here regarding the type of music I played which is 90% Rock. One of the more senior audiophiles sent me a PM regarding my dilemma. He suggested I try a Gold Note Vasari MM cartridge as he had one mounted on his VPI and he said his records never sounded better.
I took a leap of faith and contacted the Canadian Distributor as they aren't very well known or represented in the US. I purchased the cartridge direct from them for 430.00 shipped to my door. The cartridge was very easy to mount and set up and I have been spinning vinyl almost every day since and that was 3 months ago. I found the cartridge reproduced my records just the way I like and I am extremely satisfied. Another member here stated the cartridge specs aren't that great and that it used old school tech. All I know my records never sounded better and I am playing records again, and almost every day. Needless to say I won't be going back to a MC cartridge but will get the ZU fixed and keep for a spare only.
