Tonearm/Cartridge Combinations: What Do You Own (Or Have Owned) And Recommend?
@mijostyn... yes I love the Windfeld Ti. My second cartridge that I rotate onto the Origin Live Illustrious is a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum. Each cartridge brings a different but equally captivating presentation.
