Learn how to mount a cartridge for yourself and keep them all until you have had ample time to evaluate each one in your particular system. At that point, you may want to sell one or two, but the decision will be wholly yours. Or maybe instead of ditching a cartridge or two, you ought to consider mounting a second tonearm, if your turntable permits.
5 cartridges - Cello, vdH, Benz, Zu, Hana - what stays and what goes?
Need help. I have five cartridges. Anyone that has opinion about which one to prefer. I can't have a dealer mount them one after the other to evaluate. One will be mounted. 1 or 2 will be sold.
1. van den Hul Grasshopper II. Recently retipped by Sound-smith.
2. Cello Chorale. By Isamu Ikeda; Recently retipped. Ruby cantilever.
3. Brand New Zu Audio DL-103; Grade 1
4. Micro Benz MC-3; Not used for 15 years. Would give a retip if this should be my choice.
