Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution
Any recommendations for moving coils that provide excellent illumination/detail of instruments in the back rows of the symphony orchestra while preserving a weighty, powerful sound ?
My Lyra Titan i does the rear of the soundstage very well and you can follow each instrument in it's own space, but I am not sure it gives the full bloom of the orchestra as well as other top cartridges.
Harry: Thank you for your suggestion, however, the Titan is a bit too pricey for me. Something that doesn't exceed about $2500 retail might fit the bill.
Just out of curiosity, what are your system components and how are your speakers set up? getting the resolution you are looking for may require more than a cartridge upgrade.
Case in point - some electronics will blur that detail, as will improper speaker placement.
Opus88, Your current cart may be doing more than you think. What are you using for a phono stage? Even with a 5K$$ cart, using a so-so phono stage will limit your resolution capabilities.
May also suggest you offer what pre amp you are using.
