Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems


I am considering moving over to optical cartridge system.  Wondering if any of y'all have had experiences you can share from using the system.

I attended the Capital Audiofest and noted that the cartridge was used in at least four different setups.  I was told by some exhibitors that it sounds good to their ears.  I don’t know myself because I was only hearing it in unfamiliar systems, none which I liked a lot.  I had the same sort of experience a few years ago with the SoundSmith cartridges, except the show setups using it were less common and the sounded quite bad to me.

I would like to hear it in familiar surroundings.  It is pretty decently priced if you consider that a phonostage is not needed.
