I use the 501 with the P-75 in "current mode".I was surprised at the performance,seeing that I have had in-house,cartridges and phono sections costing over 10K.I may even be able to help on pricing. Tom
Newbie needs some cart advice for a SME V/Dyn P75
I have just recently taken the leap into vinyl. I scoured the forums for a good solid intro phono pre to get my feet wet, and I chose the Dynavector P-75 as my starter phono. I purchased a Gyrodec with the Orbe platter upgrade, a SME V arm and it did come with a Koetsu Black which I believe is in need of retip/rebuild.
I am looking at the possibility of using the Koetsu as a trade-in and I was thinking about Shelter 501 MK II, or a Dynavector Karat 17D2. What would be some other solid performers in the under 1k category?
I like my music with PRaT, tight snappy bass, warm side of neutral. I will take a hit in uber detail for the above characteristics. I detest sizzling highs. Otherwise, I'm willing to experiment!
I listen mainly to jazz and electronica (trance, house, ambient, drone).
Thanks in advance!
