ARISTON RDIIS and SME series III + DENON SA?
All,
I have an Ariston RDIIS turntable with a Shure SME series III titanium s-tonearm, currently using an Accuphase AC2 MC cartridge.
I have a pair of Quatro Signature II Woods(2010 models, I know...there are several versions out there)speakers with MacCormack MAP-1 preamp and DNA-225 amp. I also use a Sim-Audio MOON LP-1 pre-pre amp. Everything is dead quiet, and sounds nice.
But, the Accupase is 23 years old and is probaby getting worn. Has anyone used the Denon 103SA on a SME series III titanium tonearm? My Accupahese is heavier, and more compliant than the Denon, and seems to work well.
What suggestions do you havre for a good cartridge to match the Quatro woods? The first order filter desing is super smooth uniform in sound that is very easy to listen to.
I did have a 103D with a pair of dual sub mirror imaged KEF tweeter moded DahlQuist DQ-10's and years ago, it sounded very good.
