Help,Allaerts or Transfiguration

The Allaerts carts have a range, some of which are more sensitive to loading, VTF and require high gain phonos.

The one which is less sensitive to these factors and yet still sounds very good is the MC1B, which has 0.5mv output. I believe that price-wise, it is also in the same ball park as the Temper was. IMO this is the sweet spot in the Allaerts range. Of course as you go up the line, you get more refinement, but at a much higher cost. YMMV.

I have used/owned three Allaerts cartridges including the Mc2 Finish gold that I am now using.
I have never experienced any breakdowns using these cartridges and feel that the Allaerts range is very special indeed.
I too heard that the higher up models in the range do not play Rock music so well?
This however I have found to be utter nonsense,on my RockV/Phantom TT the Allaerts has amazed me on ANY kind of musical programme I can throw at it.
If you can accommodate a cartridge like the finish,my guess is that you will be extremely satisfied.
I know I am,And as for Mr framers review.........
