Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?

In my quest for a new cartridge I seem to be narrowing my choice down to a Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1. I have not been able to hear either of these so I am looking for any insight anyone can provide. I will be using the cartridge on a VPI TNT IV with an Eminent Technology 2.4 tone arm with the high pressure manifold. I am running dual mono with two Krell KPA Phono preamps. Thank you for any input.

Thanks for sending me the link Simon, I'm happy you like the Air Tight PC-1 so much. I may buy one for my new table based on our conversation.

Jim promised to ship the cables tomorrow, let me know how the rest of the testing goes.

After 10 weeks with the PC-1 I feel it is the best cartridge I have had in my system. Has all the advantages of the others with seemingly fewer drawbacks. Loading at 200 ohms tracking at 1.8g

Any Audiogon members have more data to contribute to this debate? It's been several months since the last post.

I have only four hours on my new Air Tight PC1 and wonder what to expect as it breaks in.

Wonder too, what arms are other Air Tight owners using.

Albert, how do you feel about the PC-1 now it is run in? Can you share your findings on VTF and VTA?
