best cartridge for 60,70's classic rock, folk ....

Doug has a great point here. The Atmos allows me to hit the rock when I want, but I certianly am not there all the time. More often than not, I enjoy, intimate folk, blues and jazz club feels and the Atmos clarity, as pointed out by Doug, allows me to go there equally as well.

So I appreciate the versatility of listening to an excellent cart that can also rock when I need it too.

Of course, I don't have any money left over except for cheap whiskey, so thats a trade off I suppose.

Glad you chimed in, Doug. You and Paul are the only people I know who have heard both the Atmos and XV-1s.

i own the dynavector xv-1s, just recently broke the cantilever a second time. now using air tight pc-1. better all around sound. less chance of breaking cantilever, it does not stick out as far. would buy air tight again if i had to choose between them. never heaed zyx's. there is a great review in the absolute sound for the air tight, they love it. oh and i only listen to rock and roll classic or otherwise.

thank you all for your input...
