Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade


I'm getting ready to upgrade my arm and cartridge. I will be mounting to a VPI HW-19 Mk IV. I realize there are many combinations that work well together, but it is not easy to get dealers to loan these pieces out the way they loan amps, preamps etc. I'm hoping that some of you can give me some input including what your arm/cart. combo sounds like. Thanks, Doug

Hello, I have the OL RB 250 paired with the Dyna Karat 17 MKII. The results have been very satisfying. Mark at Origin Live was very helpful and delivery was warp speed. I ordered a tt from the east coast (I'm on the west coast) and the arm at the same time and the arm arrived a week ahead of the tt. With that said I'm wondering if anyone has mounted a really hi-end cartridge to the arm and what the results were. I'm thinking in terms of a Koetsu, Benz Ruby etc. Mark at OL states that he mounted a Koetsu and the results were very good. thanks
