I've heard the Ultra EX as well. I think it is different enough from the Hyper, that one may like one or the other. But I don't know if one can come to a foregone conclusion that one is better than the other. I could have been happy with either.
MY SONIC LAB Cartridges
I'm considering the Hyper Eminent for my Shindo/Altec setup. The table is a Kuzma Ref 2 and Ref 313 gimbaled bearing arm. My question only has to do with sonic flavor. I was going to go with a Koetsu Rosewood Sig, but as much as I love Koetsu, I think it will be too warmly balanced in my setup. So I'm looking for a slightly more neutral sound without dipping in to brands that tend to hyper detail the event. I think many of us know what lines they are, so let's leave specific names out of this thread. Let's just say I'm looking for a more linear, dynamic sound, yet still retaining enough body.

@fjn04 how many hours did your MSL cartridge take to be fully broken-in? |
Billwojo has some keen observations about aluminum that get me thinking. I couldn't tell you which aluminum alloy was used in some of my bicycle frames. Considering that there are physical differences between one alloy and another, it seems reasonable to want to know exactly which alloy might be being used in a cantilever. I am always curious that way, even if I wouldn't know the difference between any two alloys. Leading to my next question, that has to do with any treatment of the cantilever itself. Are there any? If so, what might they be? |
