You should also consider the Shelter 501 and the ClearAudio Virtuoso Wood. Both offer excellent performance for the money. I have a Grado Reference in my analog system, and altho' their tonal characteristics are a bit different (the Grado sounds warmer), I think it's almost a dead heat between the Grado and the Shelter 501 (which sells for $400 less)
I want to try a MM
Hi there.
My vinyl system consists of a Nottingham Mentor/space Arm/Transfiguration Esprit.
I'm in the mood for som changes, so I was thinking of trading in my Esprit for a Grado Ref or a Cartridge Man MM MK III. You see, I'm trying to get a bit more warmth in my system. So what do you think? Is it something worth trying?
