I have a Platinum on my Scoutmaster. I like the sound but the only problem I had was the "Grado Dance". It was solved by adding a 3 gram wt to the headshell. I am planning a upgrade to the Sonata 1.
I recently replaced the Platinum with a Sonata1. The issue of the "Grado Dance" has not shown up yet. I don't have the 3 gram wt on the headshell any more either. $297.00 for the re tip was money well spent. No hum, track very well at 1.65 grams. I still need to adjust the VTA but I am waiting for the cart. to breakin before trying to fine tune that.
