The vinyl end of this rig is never going to sound great with an AVR built-in phono stage. An AT95e and a Schiit Mani mk2 plugged into an Aux input will likely sound better.
Cartridge for JVC
Hello all and Happy New Year.
I just acquired a nice JVC QL-Y5F table that has the original? Z1 cart. The previous owner installed a cheap conical replacement stylus that I won't use. I'd like to know what you all recommend. Looking at maybe buying a new jICO SAS stylus or maybe swap it out for a AT VM540ML. The problem with the SAS is it looks like on their site that they only ship this to Europe. Thoughts? Musical preference is classic rock, blues and easy listening with a very little bit of country thrown in. The cost is about the same with either of these choices.
System is a Denon AVR-X3600 with a McIntosh MC352 for the front mains. Speakers are RBH T2 main speakers and matching surrounds and center.
Thank you
Duke
