I Agree with the Benz recommendation I put a LPS MR in my classic a couple of months ago and its a fantastic combination.Top to bottom everything you could want.
VPI Classic and new cartridge - which one?
Dear All,
I have a VPI Classic table + the trimmings (sds, clamp, vta tower) with a dynavector xx2 mkii into my c2300.
I am looking to get a new cartridge offering all round improvements in performance. The obvious step would be the xv1-s, but I have read that this might be topped by other newer models now.
I am keeping my options open and am considering:
XV1-s
Ortofon A90
Transfiguration Orpheus
Lyra Titan i
I like the musicality of my xx2 and would not be prepared to go for an uber analytical cartridge - some have told me that I should avoid the Lyra in that case.
Wondering whether I should consider others and whether anyone has experience with these cartridges with a vpi table.
Thanks
