@analoghaven I have been using the DS Audio 003 package for a couple months, I also own a Lyra Delos, Air Tight PC-7, AT ART9XA, Ortofon LVB250, Grace F9E, used to have Ortofon A95 and the 003 beats them all as it should at 6K with the equalizer that comes with it. If you want true to the source without any coloration this is the cartridge to get. Look up my FB group
Help with Cartridge choice
Fellow audiophiles, my first time posting here and I will appreciate your help in choosing the right cartridge as part of my broader journey to put together an end game system. My upgrade path may not be very logical because it is opportunistic.
I use an old Pro-Ject Perspective turntable from early 2000s with the 9" aluminium arm (not the carbon one). I will make a significant upgrade in next couple of years but thats what i have for now.
I recently bought a Zesto Andros II phono stage to match my Zesto Leto 1.2 pre.
For now I am trying to upgrade from my Ortofon Bronze (MM) cartridge to something finer. Based on my research I am considering Hana ML ($1200). I have to stay below $1500. I have never used a MC or LOMC and not very analog savvy, and will appreciate any and all recommendations.
Thank you!
