A Cearaudio Virtuoso (Ebony) Wood Cartridge came with my Marantz 15TT. When the tonearm proved to be defective I was sent a new TT. The cartridge is Black and Silver, unlike the ebony black I originally purchased. I have noticed a sound difference. The Ebony seemed clearer. But then again the tonearm proved to be defective. I do not know if the "Ebony" should always be all black. Does anyone?
clearaudio champion w/ unify but what cartridge?
i'm getting ready to set-up my new clearaudio champion with the carbon fiber unify tone arm and i'm looking to get some cartridge recommendations. I'm moving up from a MMF 2.2 with a blue point no. 2 and in fantasy land i'd like to end up with a stradivari. but to start what would some good matches between 300 and 1000USD? Or if anyone has a used symphony you'd like to sell me?
