How Happy Am I Gonna Be??

>>Not impressed so far by the 10,000 cartridge over the Sumiko Celebration.<<

And you won't be.

That is probably the most overpriced cartridge on the market.

Bill, why? do you carry it? (;
Radrog, what do you mean by "best"?

In the end you'll probably be happy, but I suspect there will be a slew of posts asking for suggestions about why it doesn't sound quite as impressive as you thought it would. IMO going beyond what you already have results in very minor improvements. Some audiophiles describe these sonic changes as absolutely essential to their enjoyment of reproduced music and others don't.

It is getting better. Far passes the Sumiko with only 3 hours on it and at 47k. I am breaking the cart in at 47k. Haven't tried other load settings yet. I am very impressed so far. It is a VERY fast cartridge. The Aesthtix IO will slow it down some and probably be a perfect match for the Goldfinger.

Can not wait no longer for the phono. I am wearing my KPE out breaking in the Goldfinger V.2-d
