Smooth and detailed for $2k..... perhaps try the Ikeda 9TS or Ikeda 9TT if buying used.
Cartridge recomendation for Garard 301 and Ikeda IT-345CRI
Please recommend a cartridge for this set up. Budget is 2k range.
I like the "smooth with detail" types. Big and bold is good. Some interest in Ikeda and Miyajima cartridges.
I understand a SUT may be necessary.
Thanks.

Regarding IKEDA cartridges: i think what is truly unique for IKEDA is cantileverless models, look here Something like Ikeda 9c III , R or REX Those are the most dynamic cartridges! |
The Ikeda cantileverless designs are one-of-a-kind and capable of doing stuff no other mc cartridge can accomplish in terms of speed and dynamic punch. But I would advise against choosing it as your one-and-only cartridge for everyday use. Why? Well, due to its design it simply cannot cope with even slightly warped discs that normal cartridges with a cantilever (even with very low compliance) can track with ease. So it is more a cartridge for special occasions. |
