Compatibility of SME arm and Air Tight cartridge

I have an SME V with the Airtight PC-1 on an SME 10 table. It is a wonderful combination. Albert Porter has the Technics SP10 with a 12" SME V and Airtight Supreme which he upgraded from the PC-1. The SME arm and airtight combination is very compatible, IMHO.

Dear Aronsss: I hope you do not buy yet the AT PC-1 that IMHO ( an even in the SME. ) is not up " to the task " against other cartridges name it here,not even the Supreme: IMHO these AT cartridges are in the hi-fi side, does not make " music ".

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Raul,
I have long respected your opinions here and still do. I must differ with you on your "hi fi" statement about the PC-1 Supreme though. It makes music in my system. I think this just underscores that there are no analogue experts here(or anywhere else) only opinions. I have heard several systems in the past months and could live with them all. I find the combination of Air Tight and SME to be competitive with the best. Buy what you like and enjoy it Aronsss, your opinion is all that will matter to you.

Sonofjim -

I have heard the pc-1 and like it. How does it compare to your benz lp?

Aronsss,
I found the PC-1 Supreme to be an eye opener. In my system, more detailed and dynamic. I also really enjoy the Benz however and, most recently, the xv-1s mono. Whenever possible, audition these pieces yourself and see what you prefer. There's no shortage of enjoyable cartridges out there and none is the perfect one for all situations. I do think if you try Air Tight and SME you will be impressed though.
