Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems

I have owned some very good MC and MI cartridge’s and I have heard nothing on the same level as the DS. I am lucky to have a DS dealer locally so “Dr Vinyl” came over and set up this new 003 cartridge. I ended up purchasing the Grand Master with the 003 energizer/phono pre. Ive never before heard a balanced presentation like this from vinyl and bass to die for.

Wow! Many local guys. I too would enjoy a get together. I would also add that I’m a member of the DC HiFi group and we meet monthly.

My previous cartridge before the DS GM was a Ortofon Century.

I agree with @pindac , I enjoy meeting with my fellow enthusiasts. The sharing of ideas has caused me to spend more money, ha ha.

I too love the DS cartridge. It is not bright and the bass is the best I’ve ever heard from vinyl. This cart just sounds natural to me. I can say this because I own the Grand Master.

@mijostyn , There many good and bad cartridge’s out there but I can’t really Judge them since I haven’t owned or heard them. I do agree that the 84 Vette was a piece of crap though.

I mentioned how much I like the DS GM cartridge. My previous carts that it bested was an Ortofon Century and before that was a Top Wing Blue Dragon. As @saburo  commented the DS is a “major disrupter” and on the level of Tesla to the automotive industry.
