I’ve tried a number of cartridges on my 12A and ending up settling on a Grado Statement3. I think most MC cartridges are overrated. BTW, Grado holds the patent on the MC cartridge but has always made MM.
Best Cartridge for SME309 arm
I need some advice - I am in the middle of upgrading my analog front and will shortly be using SME12 with 309 arm wired with crystal cable.
I have a short list of cartridges I am considering:
1. Hana Umami Red
2. Dynavector Te Kaitora Rue
3. Soundsmith Paua 2 SE
4. Benz Micro Ruby Z (L or H)
Does anybody have any experience with any of those carts with SME arms? I believe all on this list are compliant with 10g SME arm. I want to make sure the resonance stay way below audible frequencies.
Thank you for all recommendations. Merry Christmas!
