What Cartridge(s) Is Everyone Using

[A.wayne]

Hi Deepak,

that is exactly what I heard from some of my Audio buddies in Germany.

@Christian

I am sure that this Monocart will satisfy you.
I am using Denon and Audio Technica Monocarts. And the sound is much better than my best Stereocarts with monopressings.
Do you use a dedicated Phonoamp?
That is the next step to greater performance. Then you will ask yourself why Stereorecordings where invented.

Dont forget to use one speaker too .....

Our cat just ate the stylus of my Sondsmith Strain Gauge. I"m actually thinking about going to the kitchen and eat her Whiskas crunchies.... grrr...

I'm glad the Jan Allaerts is still ok.

---- WoW, what a lovely cat! ...Bend down, and go eat her crunchies now!

...And check her next 'poupou' (caca) or two, from her litter box. ...You never know. :b

Stereo recordings were invented for a number of reasons, but one of the main ones was to sell more speakers...

Good mono recordings are really a treat with a good setup.

Haha, Bob. I'm just trying to cool down... I chose a Nonino Grappa Riserva 25th anniversary and some relaxing music (Air: The Virgin Suicides) instead of the crunchies.

-- This is the very first time that I've heard of something like that.

Like I said, check out her next 'poup', you might get lucky, truly.

Happy New Year Blam! :b ...And give her all your love still (your cat).

Sorry Bob, I haven't been precise. Our cat didn't really eat the stylus (I thought writing "ate" was nicer than writing "fuxored"). She just got her "funny five minutes", jumped over the turntable, then one of her claws glazed one of the tonearms - et voila.

My dog once ate though a section of cabling for my home theater system. Completely ate though left, right, and center channel wires that I had running in between the joists.

I have had cats chew through speaker wires and ICs and I had a dog that ruined lots of LPs by pulling them off the shelf and chewing them up. Same dog that ate a pair of steel toe boots-the steel toes were all that was left.

I have a Brinkmann la Grange and just bought a Clearaudio Goldfinger. I heard a lot good about the Thales and the VIV rigid tonearms and i may be want to change. Does anyone hs own experiences with these arms and the Goldfinger?

Goldies are really heavy carts. Ready the aux counterweights!

I'm using an AudioQuest AQ 7000 Fe5. If you're interested you can check out Michael Fremers review here.

I bought this used from Thomas Woschnik (the TW of TW-Acustic in case anyone wonders), after i told him what i was looking for: basically a higher resolution DL 103 for my Raven AC with Kuzma Stogi tonearm and i must say the AQ cart was spot on, Tom Woschnik really knows his stuff. I'm quite happy with this TT, even though i know that the cartridge and especially the tonearm leave lots of room to upgrade.

Nice cartridge made for them by Lyra. Had that for several years!

Just got the Ikeda 9TT in officially for review, waiting on a ZYX Universe 2 cartridge. Thank God for arm wands!

 

[fabinho85]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

I actually was offered the Lyra Clavis DC when i was looking for a cartridge to replace my DL 103 but after reading the review of both carts on stereophile i decided to go with the AQ pretty quickly and have not yet regretted my choice.

---- Fabian, I'm very curious; what is in your avatar? ...Got a bigger picture too?
