AT33PTG/II upgrade? Compatible?

Ok great. I may aim that direction.

Wandering thought: since the PTG is regarded to have less bass than the SA (and presumably the ART9) would coming from the Nag be kind of a downgrade in the bass department?.

just curious.

Yes, AT33PTG works well. And A Sutherland is flexible enough to cater to anything and the sound is great. I have done that. 

BUT

Stay will MM

Try the AT 540 Cartridge

So many months later I finally pulled the trigger. Only the 2nd time I’ve mounted a cartridge.

im running the Sutherland at 100 ohms and 58db gain (the next up is 64db). Sounds really good. I raised the tone arm up a bit to get the shell level to the record. It’s higher than I’ve ever had it.

that channel separation is no joke on the AT.

It’s my first MC and my first advanced stylus profile. I hope my records are clean enough haha.

Playing with loading. Went from 100 to 475 and the change was slight.. now running at 1k and man the soundstage width opened right up. It was good before but now….. wow. Wider than the speakers. Great bass and it’s got 5 hours on it. Far warmer and supple than I expected.
