Charisma Audio Cartridges

@mgw Thanks for chiming in and reviving this thread. Let us know how things progress after break in. I’ve since moved my Signature One over to a Pure Fidelity Harmony with an Origin Live Conqueror. Interesting to compare the two tables by keeping the cartridge constant. Nice to discover that the Charisma plays nicely in a different arrangement—still loving it!

@dodgealum sitting here listening to Roxy Music’s Country Life just now, it has never sounded so good.

The cartridge is mounted on my heavily modded SME 309 (fixed headshell, rewired with Nordost Valkyrja cable from cartridge tags to phonos) on my Michell Gyro SE Bronze (again heavily modded, Orbe spindle upgrade, rubber coated springs, SI3N4 ball bearings in the main bearing and suspension posts) with HR PSU.

I believe the Gyro SE is unique having modded it from a full scale Gyrodec Bronze.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm very interested in this cart. Anyone know how much a retip will set you back?

Not sure on the retip price but Bernard is excellent and will do it for what it costs—ask him. The Sig One is by far the best I’ve owned 35 years into this hobby and well worth the coin.
