For what it is worth, who ever Musikdok is has said exactly what I would advise, in every way. Readers here know I am an analog addict, and my experience with the Dyanvector arm, Dynavector cartridge, the Benz line, Koetsu and (listening, but to owning) experience with the Sumiko, confirms what has already been posted. The only other comment would be that I think that even the new Benz Glider (very reasonably priced!) is a better choice than the Sumiko. Best wishes!
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!
