Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?

In my quest for a new cartridge I seem to be narrowing my choice down to a Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1. I have not been able to hear either of these so I am looking for any insight anyone can provide. I will be using the cartridge on a VPI TNT IV with an Eminent Technology 2.4 tone arm with the high pressure manifold. I am running dual mono with two Krell KPA Phono preamps. Thank you for any input.

Thanks for sending me the link Simon, I'm happy you like the Air Tight PC-1 so much. I may buy one for my new table based on our conversation.

Jim promised to ship the cables tomorrow, let me know how the rest of the testing goes.

Any Audiogon members have more data to contribute to this debate? It's been several months since the last post.

I have only four hours on my new Air Tight PC1 and wonder what to expect as it breaks in.

Wonder too, what arms are other Air Tight owners using.

I now have two identical Air Tight cartridges. One my Technics SP10 - SME 312S combo and another on my Walker Proscenium Black Diamond.

The Air Tight on the Walker was only installed a few days ago and not fully broken in. There is perhaps 20 hours on it and unfortunately it's not getting played much because of family activity and Christmas.

So far the loading works for me 240 ohms and tracking about 2.05 with VTA pretty much level. I plan on experimenting more as hours accumulate but it's a fabulous cartridge.

How is your's doing Hemisferik?
