That is a pretty big step. I suspect you will be thrilled after dialing it in.I see that it has been discontinued, which is no problem. But you should get it at a good discounted price. Enjoy
Sumiko Pearwood Celebration II
I've been looking around for a cartridge upgrade for a little while. I've decided to go with this one. I see some mentions of it around the forums, but didn't see a real discussion. If I'm duplicating, apologies.
I'm upgrading from an A-T OC9ML/II, so it ought to be a nice step up. It'll be mounted on the TecnoArm (modified Rega 303, iirc) on my trusty Michell GyroDec SE. Should be no problems there. Phono stage will be an E.A.T. E-Glo Petit.
Looking forward to getting it mounted (if my eyes are still good enough and my hands are still steady enough) and hearing what it can do. It's a plain rectangular body, so should be reasonably easy to get set up right.
Anybody have experience with this cart to share? Tips? Gotchas?
