BEST CART FOR SMEV12 ARM at TW BLACK NIGHT TT


Hi There. I am looking forward for my next Cart that will match my TW BLACK NIGHT TT & SME V12 TONEARM. I have experience some tracking problems with my MC Anna Cart. The list below are my shortlist :

1. AIR TIGHT PC1 Supreme
2. CLEARAUDIO DA VINCI Ver. 2
3. DYNAVECTOR XV1s or XV1t

The rest of the systems are :

B100 Burmester speaker , Burmester 011 preamp , 911 Burmester AMP , Rega IOS Phonostage , MIT Oracle MAX speaker cable & Interconnect , MIT Oracle Max 2 Phpno Cable. My System is on the warm side of neutral.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers !

I own an SME V-12 and can report that the AirTight Supreme is an excellent match. It was developed on an SME arm.

Albert Porter also has a Supreme on his V-12 as well as an Atlas on his second V-12.

I am about to directly compare a My Sonic Labs Signature Gold and the Supreme in my system.

Sunnyboy , i am also thinking about my phono stage that it might the weakest link to my system. Though i have tried several phono stage like EAT Phono , zesto , avid pulsare , acoustic research , etc. but this REGA a iOS Reference is the most musical and quiet phono stage that match with my system.

Please suggest a good phono stage. i am willing to keep 2 phono stage which
i will retain my Rega IOS Reference.

For now , i can't afford the Burmester Phono which i am dreaming of. Meantime
i already decided to get AIR TIGHT PC1 Supreme which will arrive this weekend.
