Bottlehead Seduction Clearaudio MM cartridge

Thanks for the update. I have one using NOS Amperex Bugle Boy tubes and running an AT150MLX. I love the combination but I've been curious about other cartridges to try recently, are you using the Clearaudio Arurm you mentioned in your original post? Can anyone else recommend a good cartridge to use with the Bottlehead?

I bought a factory built Seduction from a fellow Audiogoner, about a month ago. It came with a pair NOS National tubes. First play, it sounded better than what I had. Twenty hours later, it came alive! Blind Faith sounded as if was in the studio. This thing is cool!

Thanks for your response. This project is on the back burner until I get my cartridge back from Sound Smith.

Yes, I have run this exact setup and it is wonderful. It is a very good match with respect to gain. I agree that the C4Sis worthwhile. I love the seduction. Have since switched carts but not sure I needed to.

If you like to tinker, you'll love the Bottlehead. I've one that I modified to my tastes. I use it with a Grace F9E on an old Denon table.

Thanks for your response. I am looking forward to the project, and plan to use the C4S upgrade kit.

I used my virtuoso with my seduction and it sounded great (better than 834p)
