"Harder" cartridge recomendation

Hi Halcro - which 3-4 would you recommend for hi ? low ? Would be interested to know. Do any of your top ones do both ? Cheers.

Halcro, would you like to share the details of the "magical" cartridge ?

Dear Dover, Have you ever seen an altar made from acoustic
materials? There is an obvious preference for exotic marble
kinds or granite. And, you know, those are also designed by
architects...Why should our own be less?

Hi Nandric, true, for some our hobby is a religious experience. I always thought the use of stone was to accentuate the high's when offering sacrificial lambs...

Acman, AFAIK, "Travisty" does = "T_bone". They are the same guy, who lived in Tokyo and then moved to HK about a year ago. I believe he used "T_bone" on Audiogon and "Travisty" on AA.

What I intended to convey is that there is a second person who uses "Tbone" (no underscore in between T and bone), on AA or here. So far as I know, this is a different person entirely. Travis was cool and a great source of information on vintage direct-drive tt's. Plus, he had access to the only remaining Pioneer Exclusive P3, P3a, and P10 service center in the world, located in Tokyo. They still have parts to rebuild the suspensions, etc. Thankfully, my craziness has subsided enough that I am no longer hungry for one of those beasts. Four turntables seems to be enough for me. Gosh, I am a reasonable average shmo. Just ask my wife.
