"Harder" cartridge recomendation

Bydlo, I have another recommendation which I believe is safe in terms of compatibility with your arm and meets the sound signature you are looking for and relatively cheaper, the Dynavector 17D3. I have heard it and currently considering it very seriously. It is fast and alive, with tons of detail and very realistic dynamics. Many people consider it to be the worthy younger sibling of the xv1s, and better than the expensive XX2 (I didnt like the XX2). All you need is a good, well damped and somewhat heavy headshell (something better than the stock perforated headshell).

Pani, ok will keep in mind, thanks. I'll have a chance to try Jubilee directly in my system and I'm tempted to do it :-)

Nothing like it Bydlo. Only if home demo of cartridges was a little more of an accepted norm we audiophiles would have spent so much less time trying out too many of them and could listen to music instead. Great going, let us know how you like the Decca.

Bydlo What ended up happening? Did the Decca provide you with sonic Nirvana?
or any of the others here remember what happened?
I absolutely hate it when you put all the time into reading an old thread and then the OP hasn't followed up and let everyone know how it's turned out!!

5 years ago, who knows what happened,  I pause even imagining.
