Allaerts MC2 Finish

I have had one for several years. I must admit that its very low output has caused me many headaches. I have been using it with the Loricraft phono which presently is not imported into the U.S. You need a 845 ohm load on it. I am presently using a Decca Jubilee which is quite different in sound and soundstage.

I also use the Allaerts MC2 Finish in a Schroeder arm, the Loricraft version of the Reference. It is mounted on my Garrard 501. I am impressed with its dynamics, wide sound stage, and tracking. I think it has the best channel separation of any cartridge.

The Decca, of course, is unrivaled by it dynamics and the Jubilee tracks pretty well.
