Cartridge recommedations

Greg,

I have nothing to recommend, in the same boat...

I just upgraded my TT and am also looking to upgrade my MM cartridge (AT-VM95SH)... I called my local private super high end audio retailer (drug dealer) and after talking about the type of music I listen to, (Everything except rap and sorry to say 90% of anything being released today...) he suggested the Ortofon Quintet bronze, so now Im going to be glued to this thread...

Welcome

I have been reading what reviews that are on the net and that is why I was asking about the cart's I listed.

They seemed to have the best reviews but I wanted some opinions from people who have used them.

I would love to be able to spent a couple thousand for one but as I am 100% disabled that is not in the cards.

Greg

are you keeping the SOTA ?
i like the Dynavector and the Ortofon Bronze about equally well, hundreds of hours listening to both in friends / relatives systems.

I think I will keep it.

I sold it a few years ago to another audiogon user and when he received it the platter had a big wobble in it.

I refunded his money and shipping charges and when I got it back I found it was damaged in shipping.

I pulled the platter and found that it had been bounced around so much the screws that hold down the bearing had backed off.

I tightened them up and took 99.9% of the wobble out.

It still has a slight wobble to it but doesn't affect the playback of the records.

I don't I would feel confortable selling it to someone in that condition even though it still sounds real good.
