which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT

I owned a Well Tempered Record Player with the Record Player arm, but I think the WT arms are all similar enough that my experience is germaine.

If you look at the recommendations above, the common thread is that they are all medium to high compliance cartridges, and my results were the same. I tried many different ways to get my Denon 103R to sound right - lots of damping, arm wraps, more weight at the headshell - but nothing I did cleaned it up. With a Shure V15, Empire EDR.9, and Zyx Bloom it was terrific. I found that very high compliance carts like the Shure needed very little damping; having the paddle only about 1/8" into the silicone was plenty.

Also, make sure you're using an OEM belt. All the 3rd party belts I tried were way too stretchy for the WT bearing design. There's a reason they make the OEM belt out of a harder plastic.

Dear Samtse: Donaudio posted: ++++ " That being said I think the WT will accept many cartridges with excellent results. " +++++

and due to WTT unique characteristics I think he is right.

The Musicmaker/EDR.9 are not so " easy " cartridges and for what I read here the people had very good results with it, this confirm that you can go with almost any cartridge.

Regards and enjoy the music.

You're welcome Sam. BTW, my WTT Classic is still hard at work for a friend after 12 years of hard work at my place. I went over to his place to hear it and I still think it is capable of producing the blackest backgrounds on the planet if set up properly........and that's compared to my new TW Raven AC and Tri-Planar 7! FYI, he is using a $200.00 Shelter cartridge.
