Lucky cartridge hunting today

Dear @linnlp12  : The Sumiko Talisman design was and is a truly good one with what they patented as Direct Field Focus ( yokeless and only one pole. ).
I owned the 3 models and I still own two of them. All are very good performers and your B ( boron ) one is a keeper sample even for today standards. Good for you.

In the other side the DTI is the best HOMC I listened in my life and a very especial design where its cantilever is coated not with the " humble " gold but with diamond, a keeper too. I let it gone to many years ago.

Both cartridges hard to beat on its overall quality performance levels.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Concur on your observations.  Thanks.

Very sad.

+1  I've owned hundreds and hundreds of cartridges and the DTi is one of my all-time favorites.  I still have one, in addition to a Boron.

I find these threads very helpful.   Im currently shopping for and in hopes of bettering/replacing my Ortofon Anna and the ClearAudio Strad V2.
