Cartridge recommedations

I think I will keep it.

I sold it a few years ago to another audiogon user and when he received it the platter had a big wobble in it.

I refunded his money and shipping charges and when I got it back I found it was damaged in shipping.

I pulled the platter and found that it had been bounced around so much the screws that hold down the bearing had backed off.

I tightened them up and took 99.9% of the wobble out.

It still has a slight wobble to it but doesn't affect the playback of the records.

I don't I would feel confortable selling it to someone in that condition even though it still sounds real good.

Forgot to thank you for the cart info.

Greg

That is one of the reasons I was asking my question. I have never used a unipivot arm before.

I have a extra Mission and a Raga 301b I could swap on and an older SME long arm I could use.

I will look up somw reviews and see what they say about the ATN95MR.

Thank you for the info.

Greg

Welcome

I have been reading what reviews that are on the net and that is why I was asking about the cart's I listed.

They seemed to have the best reviews but I wanted some opinions from people who have used them.

I would love to be able to spent a couple thousand for one but as I am 100% disabled that is not in the cards.

I want to thank everyone for your reply's. I still havn't made a decision and am not sure what will meet my expection's.

I read all the reviews on carts that i can find and some of them don't really say much. I was really surprised about the review of the AT carts in Sterophile. I was all ways under the impression they were a entry level cart and as soon as you could you up graded them.

Well the search continues.

I am still looking and taking all recommendation's.

I do have the set up skills and have set up some very finicky arm's in the past including the Schiit Sol for a buddy. 

That one was a lot of fun but sounded great once dialed in.

The reason I was looking at the MC carts is several years ago I had a Ortofon Blupunke {sp ?] B that I had re tipped be Soundsmith and haven't been able to get that great sound since. When I think about selling it I get a beer and start crying.

Oh well not the only great decision I have made in my life.
