Thanks, Phil & Sean. The fellow who sold me the Delphi also recommends the Shelter cartridges and I have viewed their site. They are included in the running. My question here is to obtain the correct balance and installment properties. I will look up the JMW spec's in the manual to-night.
Cartridge Selection? Help
My ORACLE DELPHI V needs a new cartridge to mount on it's VPI JMW arm. The pre-amp is an SONIC FRONTIERS SFL2 SIG. or a MARK LEVINSON #25 with high-gain card.
Amongst others, I am considering the following:
Ortofon Rohmann MC
Lyra Helikon Reg. or SL
Crown Jewel Reference
These all sell for around 2k U.S. new or $600 - $800 "used".
My difficulty is in calculating the cartridge mass with that of the tonearm in order to obtain the optimum balance.
Would you analog experts point me in the best direction(s)!
Thanks, Colm
