I have only used Grado carts. I briefly tried a Dyna 17d3 through one of Bob's Devices. I much preferred my Sonata. I thought about 2500.00 retail for the step up and cart combo would give me a good mc taste. Price not including the IC. I currently use a Reference1 that sounds really good to me. I think about trying some of the above mentioned vintage mm. One day I hope get to them. For now my new Belden 8402 IC has made for some really nice music coming out of my system. Iow, I don't plan on messing with a cart change anytime soon.
