All Bull shite aside, IMHO, Darkstar you would benefit greatly by switching to a Dynavector 10x5. While the Ortofon Blue is a good cartridge it does not compare to the solid, dynamic, full range and warm to neutral sounding Dynavector. The Scout is a great table and it deserves at least a 10x5 to make it shine. Also, Dyn 20x would require a very good Phono pre and would be a Great bump in sound quality. The Dyn 10x5 is a more cost effective way to see if you like what the Dynavector can do for you. @ $450.00 its a very good deal as well.
Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help
Ok purchased Old Scout with an Orfoton Blue. I see why people like this cart. It's definitely not for me in my system. Way to forward and bright.
I need something alot warmer and laid back. Considering Dynavector 10x5 but not sure it will be warmer. I would like more of a tube sounding/lush sounding midrange. Hoping to find a nice soundstage.
The blue is just missing the mark for me. Any help would be appreciated. Please keep it under 450.
