Cartridge matching your arm and table is the key. It is not as simple as picking "the best cartridge." My dealer fit a Benz Glider (thats 2 cartridges higher in Benz'line than the MC) to my LP12/Akito combo and it was horrible. Flat, dull, and lifeless. We put on a Blue Point Special and it was much better. It was dynamic, transparent, and expressive. I am not saying that the Blue Point Special is a better cartridge than a Benz Glider, just that in my setup it was better. I heard the very same Benz Glider perform wonderfully with a Michel Gyrodec and SME 3009 tonearm. However, I can say the Blue Point Special is definitely not junk!
Benz MC Gold vs Sumiko Blue Point special
I have recently purchased a Clearaudio Emotion T/T with the Satisfy arm. I've been out of this hobby for several years. Used to have A Cosmos SME V combo. Just getting back into it. I'd like to know if you folks any thoughts on the on the Benz MC Gold vs Sumiko Blue point special.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
