I have the Prime Signature with the Cadenza Bronze base on VPI’s recommended cartridges for it, and the sound is fantastic. I do not see why you would be disappointed with the Cadenza Black, but wonder why VPI did not recommend it over the Bronze. Possibly about the same performance for a good bit more money?? You might want to contact VPI directly, and get their input.
Looking for a New Cartridge
I have a VPI Prime signature. I have a Koetsu black goldline and never thought it was a great match compliance-wise. I confirmed my suspicions when I purchased an Ortofon quintet black as an interim/backup cartridge. It really sings from top to bottom and was much easier to dial in, where the Koetsu required constant adjustment (don't ask me why).
I have the itch and am looking at the Ortofon cadenza Black (don't think Bronze because of my sonus Faber speakers), kiseki purpleheart and I was offered a deal on a lightly used air tight mc1 Supreme which I don't know too much about. Another suggestion was the air tight pc-7 which is impossible to audition.
Looking for suggestions/recommedations
Thank you all and have a great holiday.
