@skiznfliz Yeah, your VS is out of date, then. I missed it in your post. My bad. Too much single malt. Carry on.
Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge
Thinking of changing out my AT VM740ML Cartridge being I feel it’s a little bright. I like the transparency but would like just a “SLIGHT BIT” more warmth without it deadening the sound, so looking for recommendations.
Previous carts used:
Ortofon Super OM20 which I loved on a previous TT, just not compatible with my tonearm on my current turntable.
Ortofon 2MBlue - Did not last and like the OM20 better
Sumiko Moonstone - Way too dull sounding
Turntable is a EAT B Sharp and Currently using a Gold Note PH-10 Phono PreAmp with the external power supply, and even with it set to -3 dB on all the EQ settings still seems to be on the bright side.
I’d like to stick with MM, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

@skiznfliz get MM cart from Audio Technica house AT-150MLX ! If you want the best, try to get NOS / good from ML150..180 series.. my AT-ML180 kills 1500$ MC carts, while running at half track force, 1gf MM vs 2gf for MC! |
You can also experiment with the capacitance loading by using a phono cable with more or less capacitance. Moving magnet cartridges are quite sensitive to this in their high frequencies. I would try adding more capacitance. What is the capacitance of the phono cable in use now? You can go up from that after trying lowering the back end of the cartridge. |
