Yamaha PX-2 Cartridge

I have one with a Denon DL 304 mounted.

Ghostrider, how is it??

I wanted to try a MC cartridge on this table. The 304 is a low output MC cartridge that seems to mate well with the arm. It has higher compliance than the DL 103, which is why I chose it. I think it is a solid performer. It is very detailed and has good bass response. It tracks very well at about 1.2 - 1.4 grams (from memory). Mounting and alignment are straightforward, unlike pivoted arms.

One problem with the table is that it doesn't allow you to move and drop the arm without the platter turning, so you have to rely on the arm calibration for tracking force. I haven't been able to use a stylus force gauge with this table.

for the heck of it I put my VPI Zephyr on this table, balanced it, and..... great sound

I'm going to do some tweaking to the table, MerrilScallia mat, center weight, and I will dampen the chassis and get some more vibration control. If it improves enough, I may sell my VPI Classic and just enjoy this beautiful automatic table for a while
