I replaced an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze with a Umami Red. I find the Red to be more detailed but not "in your face". In pretty much every category I prefer the Red and don't find it bright.
Looking for a new phon cartridge
I have a J Sikora Initial Max Turntable with a J Sikora tonearm. My phono stage is a Sutherland Dual. My amp and preamp are PrimaLuna 400s. I also have Devore Gibbon X speakers.
I am looking to replace my Hana Umami Blue cartridge which has worn out. While I enjoyed the Umami, I found it to be a little too "hot" at times.
I am looking for a cartridge that emphasizes natural sound over extreme detail. My price range is under $3000.
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
