Gmorris, I agree that proper loading will make a world of difference in the sound. I feel that just leaving the loading at 47k really does interfere with the proper function and sound of a good cartridge that is not designed to be loaded at 47k. I, too, think the Helikon is a great cartridge. I think I was pretty fair in my personal assessments above.
ZYX Fuji vs. Lyra Helicon
Does anyone have experience with these carts? Looking for something to mate with VPI Aries/JMW 10.5 combo into ARC Ref.
Is there another that might be a better bet? (I guess the Shelter 901 is a bad choice with my arm). Would the Helicon SL do okay with my phono stage?
I know I'm asking a lot of cartridge questions so bear with me. Your thoughts and insight is greatly appriciated.
