AT33PTG/II. Love It. When Stylus Worn ____?
Just get a new AT33PTG/II, $550. or consider ____?
What have other AT33PTG/II owners done?
likely getting worn after 1-1/2 years (nothing audible, but at least 500 hours).
Mostly LP’s during the past 1-1/2 years, now using CD more since getting Sony xa5400ES. After a while it will be back to mostly LPs.
order of use: LP; CD; Some SACD; FM WBGO Jazz
My system has wonderful imaging (when the content is wonderfull).
LP: I prefer wide separation and tight channel balance primarily, next I want light tracking force.
My 1st MC, chose AT33PTG/II, love it, use it even though it tracks a bit heavier 2.0g than my former favorite Shure MM V15VxMR 1.25g (new Jico Shibata/Boron). The very tight 0.5 db channel balance of the AT makes the slight difference I suspect.
Some content, imaging too wide, I use my Shure (ready to go on rear tonearm). I also use the Shure (replacable stylus) for ’not too special aurally’ or ’farewell listen, gonna sell’ LPs to minimize wear of non-replacable MC stylus. And, if image too wide, my speakers are on wheels, I adjust toe-in readily.
ps, totally happy with my SUT and Phono EQ (Fidelity Research FRT-4 to McIntosh mx110z tube preamp MM).
