@atmasphere LOL, you are 100% correct. I too noticed that dear Raul didn't take it upon himself to consult with a tonearm manufacturer or turntable manufacturer....but that would risk him getting an opinion opposite to his!
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.

Dear @kennyc : Thank's for your interest on the set up. Only for your records I knew about that 92 way before MF posted and I was in WBF way before you can imagine it. As a fact MF already learned some alignment issues rigth from audiophiles. Yes, to much fatigue and useless for me because unfortunatelly I don't learned yet nothing new for any of your tedious posts. Enough. R. |
