Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200
I'm taking the headshell to my buddy and will watch him install and line it up. This may give me a better comparison between the Technics and Pro-Ject. I will keep you updated. Should have the cart late next week. Thanks for your input.Sam

Rich I'm going to try a Denon DL 110. I've heard very good things about this cartridge. Local vintage audio dealer has one.

Sting I really didn't know if you were serious. Now that I read it again I understand. Sorry about that :)

Boofer great point. Makes perfect sense and so glad you pointed this out. Part of me wants to go ahead and try something different but I'm trying to be patient.

Rich I have considered changing and to be honest after researching carts the M97xe seemed to be a logical choice. However, I almost bit the bullet and bought a Denon MC cart and can't remember the number. It was around $200. Is your Stanton modifi...

Tablejockey I may decide to go the separate phono route once I get used to the Pro-Ject RM5SE. Thanks for your insight :) The Jolida JD-9 MKII is on my shortlist.

Al ok agree that a short distance should be fairly slight so both would probably suffice my needs at the moment. I know this hobby can drive us nuts and I am a firm believer that power cords and interconnects can make a substantial difference in s...

Al thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question and research the cartridge. As far as sound I don't need anything that will "brighten" or liven up the sound "too" much especially in the midrange or treble. However, more extension ...

AL as usual very good questions. My cartridge is a high output MC Sumiko Blue Point #2 mounted on a 9" carbon fiber tonearm. Here is the specs of the phono stage:Specifications:RIAA accuracy: <0,5B 20Hz - 20kHzInput Impedance: 50 kOhm Overload ...
