The Alpha series had a very hot high register like most early moving coil cartridge. This was addressed in the Alpha Genesis series. The 2000 model is what you should be looking for and I see them NOS for around 400 to 500 on occasion.
Monster Cable Alpha - 1
Hi - I know Monter Cable Alpha 2 is in fact an Accuphase AC-2. I have a chance to buy a new Monster Alpha 1. Is this in fact an earlier AC-2 cartridge? What are the differences between the Alpha 1 and the Alpha 2? They look quite similar to me (of course the earlier was sexy gold and the newer boring black....).
Thanks
