| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua I guess I should resurrect this thread. I bought a cadenza bronze at the beginning of this year and mounted it in my vpi Prime Signature. It was nice albeit a little dry for my taste. Not special like my koetsu black was. I broke it in with the re... | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S Agree. Great recording. And I have all versions. This is far superior | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid I use Audio Intelligent - Premium One-Step Formula #6 | |
| Cadenza Bronze to Winfeld ti or Other? Effective mass is 9.7. My vpi 3dr arm is similar. I use a soundsmith paua mkii and used the ez mount brass screws to match for a 10hz resonance frequency. Right on the money. Sounds amazing | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER @fsonicsmith You know when a person starts a personal attack on the other it is usually to cover up statements that have no substance.I have owned an SME tonearm on an ariston and my opinion is that the VPI unipivot betters it or the Ittok or abou... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 Used vpi. For 2k maybe a used classic | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER What is with the vpi bashing? I owned a prime scout and now a prime signature. Both tables are incredible value for the price, but more importantly they sound amazing. I was an lp12 user for the last twenty years and when that died my daughter and... | |
| VPI Turntable choices. My friend went from a 19 to a prime scout and there was a significant difference and you have all modern upgrade options. As the poster up above said if you can swing the superscout from Upscale Audio you will be set for life. | |
| Cartridge recommendations I am a recent fan of SoundSmith carts. The sussuro is a great match for your tonearm | |

| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime @mjb87062017 Your cartridge is actually one that shines in all the areas you say are deficient. which leads me to a few things.Did you buy this new ? maybe in needs a retip or service.most likely it is a setup issue. Watch the videos on setup... | |
| Cartridge Selection I agree on the Koetsu. the compliance on a 3D arm is marginal at about 13hz resonance which is not the best. you could use the sound smith ezmount screws and add some weight (probably the brass ones) to help the Koetsu along. I have to respectf... | |
| Cartridge Selection @gareents. I just purchased the Soundsmith Paua MKii for 2k which is half price since they had a cosmetic update they have been blowing them out at half price.I own the Ortofon Candenza Bronze and the Koestsu Black Goldline (which I used for 15 ye... | |
| Anyone hear the SS Paua Mk.II ES yet? Benz Glider. It was great. Not in the same league as the SS | |
| Anyone hear the SS Paua Mk.II ES yet? I have the Paua mkii. Got the half off deal and if you look hard you will still find it. This is the best cartridge that I have ever owned hands down. I had koetsu's ortofon cadenza bronze. Linn dynavector Benz etc. The ss is dynamic smooth has an... |
