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 !

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.

If you are enjoying the Rega stay with it. If you have a friendly dealer or an even more friendly audio buddy willing to bring his phono over, thats the best way to go with a home demo. Whats your budget and do you prefer SS or tubes ? Multiple variables as you can guess.
NJoy the ride.

Hi Dreamaudio,
Did you try the Pulsare or current Pulsare II?
Could you tell me how the Avid compare with the Rega (Ios Reference) sonically?
I am looking for a solid-state phono stage.
Thank you.
