Dear Gerrym5: One of my last cartridge hearing on my system was the PC-1 that it is a very good performer but the XV-1 ( on an Audiocraft tonearm ) goes better with my music/sound reproduction priorities.
Now, if you aspire to mate that " new " cartridge with your Phantom tonearm ( that is very similar to the Audiocraft ) my vote is for the XV.1 but this vote is only by my preferences/priorities that are better serve by this cartridge but I can live " happy " with the PC-1 one. You know this is a very hard call for say the least.
Regards and enjoy the music.
