anyone using new Air Tight Supreme cartridge?


WHAT HAVE you compared to or had before and your speakers and electronics you have? would appreciate your impressions. i have the Strain Gauge which very, very good . heard the air tight at a dealer and very impressive tonality and resolution. so what are people experiencing? And is it that much better than the earlier air tight?

I have now had the Supreme on a Walker TT for about a month with approx. 40 hours of play time. It took me quite some time to dial it in. It initially so lacked in mid-bass and lower registers, I found myself repeatedly adjusting tracking force and VTA. After feedback and suggestions from others I relented, offering the cart a proper break-in. At present it's performance within this system has attained a level I have long-sought, although those with greater insights claim an additional 30 hours will yet take it further. Everything from delineation to frequency extension; imaging, and depth of staging (a remarkable sense of front to back layering) to dynamic swings have brought the presentation much closer to live. It certainly has left me with much less yearning than with any other front end.
