Please be a little more specific. Are you looking to stay with a high-output coil? I don't know the capabilities of your particular preamp. Also, elaborate upon your budget for the upgrade. There are more than a few well-versed "analogue addicts" on the site that will give you excellent advice. Those blue points are fairly well know for the "hard" sound you noted. A reasonable upgrade that I have had some experience with is the Benz line (LO.4 in particular but they also make a medium and high output version of the same cartridge - now in "series 2" I believe) Much better in the trebles, more musical and detailed. Good luck! -John
Advice on cartridges!
Hi, everybody! I´m new in this hobby, and I´d appreciate very much some advice regarding phono cartridges. I´m using a Sumiko Blue Point Special MC, with Dynavector 507V tonearm, Oracle turntable, Aragon 24k preamplifier, Aragon 4004 amp and BW Matrix 803 Series 2 speakers. I´ve been using this cartridge for 6 months and I find the top bright and a little hard. I´d like to purchase a cartridge that could match in a more musical manner with my system. Advice is welcome. Thanks for your interest!
