Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge

So do you plan on running it at 47K or 1K? (Not that an audiophile isn't entitled to change his or her mind...)

Yes, it actually sounds better now running at 47Hz. I don't really understand why it does buy my dealer that I purchased the Ruby 2 from states that this is not uncommon.

I experimented around and settled on 47K for mine too. I use a pass labs aleph ono /benz ruby 2/ basis2500/gram2.2. Excellent high resolution sound, but also very relaxing and laid back in presentation. Finding a turntable god to tune your table up make a huge difference.

Well, that was a short day in the sun for yrs trly...

My sonic experience with the Ruby2. I own one for three years and previously owned L-04, Ruby and Glider.

1) Dynamics
2) Inner Detail (sometimes to a fault)
3) Open airy delicate highs
4) Powerful, melodic bass
5) Ambience
6) Warm emotional midrange
7) Excellent tracking
8) A pain in the "A" to set up perfectly or #2 will lead to you selling it off. This cartridge has a VERY narrow window for VTA/VTF parameters. If set-up anywhere outside the optimum it will sound etched, analytical, sibilant and irritating as h*ll. Be certain to routinely clean the stylus and keep it spotless or you will fall prey to #2.
