Ideas for a cartridge for a Breuer 8A tonearm

My tastes are jazz, female vocals, guitar ( acoustic ), some new age, not much
classical. My system is a Spectral amp and preamp with MIT cables.
The Breuer is on a Linn with the Boston Acoustic graphite mat ( BTW it is
great in the Linn ) . Speakers are Meadowlark Blue Herron.

Dear Drjoe: My Colibri put on any one on music heaven through my Sumiko MDC 800: a Breuer clone, a very good one.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Raul,I had the MDC-800 years ago.It was a fabulous arm!Personally I liked it better than the two SME-V's I had,afterwards.

Best!

You will need to special order the VdH for it to work on the Breuer. The Headshell fins will otherwise be in the way. You can order the light weight version the XCP or similar.

Dgad,

IIRC, the newest Breuer (8A) has a reshaped headshell that accommodates more cartridges. I belive those pesky fins are no longer in the way.
