Problem solved. Wires were reversed on cart connections. Grado apparently does things backward from what many other do. Sounds good now that bass has returned. Thanks for the ideas.
new cart and Where's the bass ?
So I was dusting the plinth awhile back and broke the cantilever on my clearaudio virtuoso wood. That cart sounded great until that horrible accident. So I got a Grado Statement 1 (nos) from a friend. This cart has never been used was about $2800 a few years ago, now it is $3500. A moving iron .5 mv . I loaded it at 47-50 k and a 60 db gain from my Phonomena. It sounds good on the highs, midrange, female vocals, soundstage, smooth etc. The bass is missing.
I mean missing like not there. I tried a lower loan at 2k and noting.
What's going on here? Is this thing a lemon or am I missing something?
Thanks
