I'm not familiar with Sensitive Sound cartridges. I'll look into them!
;)
Looking for a new cartridge (and maybe phono stage) for my Rega RB808
*Benz Glider (with MicroRidge stylus) New design is not always better and if you don't mind to buy a discontinued models your choice of cartridge can be much wider. If you like MicroRidge stylus (which is great) you can look for the MicroLine stylus too. Audio-Technica made some exceptional MM cartridges with this stylus tip, they are belongs to discontinued AT-ML series with tapered Beryllium and Boron pipe cantilevers. Models like AT-ML150 (Beryllium) and AT-ML170 (Boron) are amazing. Speaking about new cartridges vs. old cartridges we can remember Beryllium cantilevers, this material is no longer available, so it's impossible to find a new design with Beryllium cantilever anymore. New is not always better. Mid compliance Audio-Technica MM is perfect for your tonearm. Highly recommended. |
I realize that by now this is a pretty old thread but I wanted to post back here about what I ended up doing! I replaced my phono stage with a Pro-Ject Phono Box RS (still on the hunt for a Power Box for it) and ended up choosing an Ortofon 2M Black to try (got an amazing deal on it). This sounds nice to me, although I’m very curious about stepping up (no pun intended) to a LOMC cartridge. I’m waiting for delivery of a Rogue Cronus “Dark” integrated amp and a pair of Magnepan 1.7x speakers which I recently fell in love with. I’m very curious to see how its integrated phono stage compares to the Pro-Ject Phono Box! |
