Well, I am disappointed by the 2M red and Blue. I see lots of hype and no results. Even my girlfriend was able to pick out the grace f9 when I blind tested her. I think I might call the cash I dropped on it a sunk cost, as I the shop doesn't carry anything I am interested in apart from an entry level dynavector.
As a side note, it can easily become more expensive to experiment with bogus cartridges then to just drop the cash on something nice to begin with. Shops these days hardly have analog listening rooms, and the chances of having two decks set for an A/B on carts that are properly mounted is virtually impossible. I would have hoped that I could trust the reviews I have been reading, but I have been let down.
The hunt continues, I am going to seriously consider soundsmith for a retip (when needed). I am curious whether or not they can do something about the suspension as well.
