Metaphysics, the Io takes full advantage of what ever arm/table/cartridge you pair with it. If you have already gotten the Io why sell it. It is an excellent phono stage.
Cartridge recs for VPI JMW arm Please
Hello all. I've recently decided to make a small jump into analog and have everything but a cartridge. I have an upgraded VPI Aries TT, JMW12 tonearm, BAT VK-5P phono pre. I'm looking for a couple of good recommendations for cartridges for this set-up. Budget is $1-2k new. I currently have a Crown Jewel SE that a friend will let me demo, but I'm concerned that the JMW12 may be too heavy for it. Please let me know if you think this cartridge will work as he will give it to me for dirt cheap.
