I love mine with my Scoutmaster JMW9 Sig combo. Tons of detail and great bass. I listen for hours at a time. Even my wife loves its sound. I HIGHLY recommend getting a Mint LP protractor to set up you cartridge optimally.
VPI Classic and ZYX Airy 3 X SB...good match?
Hello everybody,
I have decided to purchase a VPI classic with sds, peripheral ring and HRX clamp after collecting many opinions.
Music I like to listen to is prevalent acoustic, vocal, classic music and jazz (NO Rock).
I like neutral sound, precise tracking, no coloration, but still full body/harmonic sound.
I know I am asking for a bit too much perhaps but by reading on the forum and elsewhere the cartridge that would better match all these specs would be the ZYX Airy 3 X with the Silver base option to overcome the light tonearm's issue.
Now it is time to purchase the pick up...but since it is not so cheap I want to make sure I am doing the right thing and that is why I am addressing a new post here hoping to collect some more useful thoughts in this regard.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best,
Stefano.
