sporadic distortion in low end?
Dear Pablo. It looks to me like a classic problem between your tonearm/cartridge resonance frecuency. Your cartridge don't mates with your tonearm and the only solution is to change that cartridge or to change that tonearm.In theory, the resonance...

Sirspeedy: Like I told to Doug, all in this life is a trade-off.Which are yours? Airtangent?. Great!If at this moment exist a perfect tonearm, I think that anyone would have it, and if that tonearm really exist I'm sure that all others tonearms de... 
Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ??
Holyy: There is no problem. But with a very low level voltage of the signal coming for the cartridge there will be not burn-in or at least you will need 100 years to do that job.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul.

No. 26 - MM or MC board?
Dear John: I respect your opinion about the 103. But this kind of opinion about this cartridge is the " brake " for that you or anyone else can grow-up in the quality music/sound reproduction.While we have this kind of opinion on this cartridge in... 
No. 26 - MM or MC board?
