Grado is my favorite cartridge. A cartridge is the most personal item in the equipment lineup, it's like a woman. If you're in love with the woman of your choice, that's all that counts;however, I will tell you that the cartridge you have is among the best in the world for what it delivers.
Grado Master Reference 1
So I'm piecing together a new system and am brand-spanking new to the AgoN community and was wondering what people's thoughts were on carts. I'm running a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with the KT 120 upgrade from the KT 88/ 90s, Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's, the venerable VPI Scout and Morrow IC's and bi-wires. I'm also, for the time being, using the built in phono stage on the Cronus and I've rolled the tube to a Gold Lion 12AU7 from the EH it came with. As far as MM carts go, I understand people either love or hate the Grado Master Ref 1. What do you guys think? And let me know if this is in the wrong thread category. Again, newbie alert.
