Count Basie usually recorded on Roulette. Roulette LPs are notoriously harsh and the treble can make your ears bleed. Sadly, many great Basie recordings are thus practically ruined. Basie with Joe Williams, Basie with Sarah Vaughn.
Clear Audio Virtuoso Ebony v2 Cartridge
I initially bought a Sumiko Blackbird HOMC cartridge to replace a Grado Reference Sonata cartridge which had generated a hum. It certainly was more detailed than the Grado, and I liked it, but it seemed a little harsh in the high end. So, I exchanged it for the Clear Audio Virtuoso.
The difference is amazing. This cartridge is smooth and elegant throughout the whole tonal range.
It made a major change in my system which, in part, consists of a recapped CJ PV11 preamp and a Benchmark AHB 2 Amplifier with GoldenEar Triton 1 speakers.
I highly recommend it!
