Only with all tube system: MMF-7tt, AR PH3 phono pre, AR SP16L preamp, VAC PA100/100 amp, JM Reynaud Offrande speakers. Very happy although I am getting the upgrade bug re: TT. If I do upgrade I will keep the Blackbird on new rig.
Anyone using a Sumiko Blackbird w/ Solid State?
I've been going through cartridges like candy this month trying to find a good fit for my classic rock LP collection.
I jumped on the Audio Technica OC9ML/II bandwagon over at Vinyl Asylum but found it slightly bright and bass shy with my Musical Fidelity A300 and Von Schweikert VR-1's.
Someone has suggested the Sumiko Blackbird as an alternative - said it's got more bass and is less bright than the OC9. Does anyone have any experience and opinions with the Blackbird and solid-state amps?
