What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow

I installed the Rega Elys cart. and set it up no distortion on inner tracks and sound is wonderful. I will give a full report in a few days to let you know. Thanks for everyones help.

Bro57, Good Choice: MM! I'll have to give the Rega cartridges a whirl too, some day. Looking forward to your impressions of the Black Widow as well!

I can't believe anyone would prefer an MM over a good low output MC. Of course you must have a phono stage capable of driving a low output cartridge but there is no comparison. My Madrigal Carnegie is very old but simply makes the Shure V15 sound mechanical in comparison as I said in an earlier post.

Rwwear, believe it. If a Shure V15xMR sounds "mechanical" in your system, I wouldn't blame the cart.

My responses were based on the constraints of the arm being used. Off the top of my head, i don't know any MC cartridges that work optimally in a very low mass pivoted arm.

Other than that, i can understand how someone listening to a good MC cartridge could find the Shure to sound "mechanical". It lacks the flow, air, liquidity and sense of ease that some other cartridges bring with them to a system. Kind of like a professional gliding through a job and an unskilled laborer performing the same task. You may end up with what many might consider nearly the same results, but the amount of speed and finesse displayed obtaining those results is undeniably quite different. Sean
