Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ?


We have a Dyna XX-2 that is amazing on some recordings, less than special on others. Bottom line - I find it a musical roller coaster ride, wife hates it. There is a pre-amp gain/cart-output mismatch that may be the culprit. We have a DV 20X2m backup cart in place. Wife loves it but I miss the detail. We're looking at the Sumiko. It has the right output (.5 mv), a musical presentation and positive reviews. Before I lay down $2500 - comments? Good? Bad?
Thanks!

"the wife" as opposed to "my wife"?
"Wife loves it..."
I can only assume this women has no identity other then being "the wife" or just plain "wife".
I'm sure when "the wife" is referring to you in conversation she does not call you "the husband" or just "husband".
Let's give this intelligent women more credit, I'm sure she deserves it.
Jmcgrogan -

I would love a two arm table but .... the Sumiko is a reach that may not even happen $$$. Agree with everything you said.
