Arm is AudioQuest PT-7. I think that is a PT-5 with better cable. Preamp is Audible Illusions Modulus 3 with MM section.

The 1042 is an excellent cartridge punching well above its price range. Comparable cartridges are the Clearaudio Charisma and the Soundsmith Voice both way more expensive. The Gyger S stylus is no more difficult to set up than either a Shibata or even elliptical stylus. The procedure is identical. Line contact styluses like the Gyger S are also quieter than other Styluses. I am not a huge fan of AT cartridges as IMHO they have the worst QC of any cartridge manufacturer with styluses mounted in comical directions. |
Dear @hedwigstheme : I agree with @williewonka about AT and disagree with @mijostyn on qc of Audio Tecnica where I own and owned over 15 different models and never/ever I had or have any kind of qc manufacturer problem. Now, inside your price range other very good alternative is Nagaoka:

Just to claify my statement about the setup of the more advanced contact line cartridges...
I could be wrong, but I "think" the Shibata profile could be a little more "forgiving"?
