Cartridges


Is it better to upgrade to an ultra premium cartridge or to buy the premium records such as hot stampers and the like?

I'd say always get the best cartridge you can afford, whatever that might be.

I haven't had the pleasure of hearing an Epoch3 or Aeon3, but the Statement3 has taught me a lesson. With an output of 1mV it can be used as an MM or as an MC as far as the phono stage is concerned. I found it decidedly boring connected as an MM both with a Quad 24p and with the NuVista Vinyl. But as an MC with the resistive loading set low at 100Ω it comes to life and is really giving my London Reference a challenge.
