Cartridge Opinions - Sorry


Yeah, another dumb "what's your opinion on these cartridges" thread. Back in the late 80's we had dealers where you could listen to the stuff.

So anyhow I have a Linn LP12 with Ittok arm and a 30 year old Audioquest B200L cartridge. I'm running it through the phono stage of a Jeff Rowland Coherence One into a Spectral DMA90 through a set of Kef R300's.

I prefer a little more laid back sound (err on the side of forgiving instead of fatiguing) but I like a lot of upper end detail, precise soundstaging, air, etc.

So far I'm considering an Ortofon Quintet S Black, Hana SL or a Benz wood - something at or below the $1k level.

I'd love to hear any opinions, suggestions, and experiences with those cartridges or others in the price range. I could possibly go higher if there is something out there that really shines for less than $1,500.

Thanks.

When i have been in a recording studio as a pro studio player, not once did I see the boom moving around any type of axis to follow what the mic was doing (Yikes).
Hey davey boy,

Of course a boom doesn’t move around to follow a axis in a recording studio. You’ve completely taken what I wrote and twisted it to fit your bullsh*t to talk down to someone you don’t agree with.
Dear @tyray : That was a second post to him. Look in any internet forum you can be interested any one can post his opinion and in my first post to him that's what I did it but then he was angry because I posted my opinion and he claim to me that he did not asked to me.

So, I posted my answer to him that at the end every word is true even if seems as a bulling that in reality was niot the intention.

That's not accurate Raul, angry is not the word of how I felt, more like "surprised" and "attacked for no obvious reason", if your opinion to my post was purely technical fine, you obviously have a lot of experience, I am here to learn not to argue with people.But instead your opinion and reply about a post non directly related to you was with these words "I was even more stupid than (somebody else)"The original post was removed because I reported you to the moderatorsBut I can't be angry to people that just do online rantingNow, why you reacted to my harmless post validating someone else's I can just think for some reason it bothers you when someone validates @atmasphere points of view, he could be wrong or he could be right as far as I know but from a user like you I would expect more civility.So yes you are correct you stated your opinion but you are leaving out the part where you name people stupid just because.

And Raul if you are "admitting" that wasn't the intention I understand so no worriesYou have a good day
Dear @luisma31 : well " angry " was my thougth not that you told me, sorry for this.
