New Stones vinyl
... once it's hamburger it can't be turned back into steak.Don't be so critical....of course it can be done. The wonder Transformer is named "marketing".It is also able to transform multi-motor nonsense into High End Playback wonders. Be happy tha... 
Another cartridge suggestion thread
Music preference: Jazz, blues and female voiceI would recommend Zyx cartridges. They are all good from soundstage, overall voicing and rhythm. A great match for Graham Arms, too. 
Best Bat out of Hell recording

Searching for perfect mate....Mono Cart and VPI
I use a Lyra Helikon mono and it is worth to look for. No hum based on its 2 Magnets Design, very good holographic presentation linked with full tones. Works very well with Manley Steelhead.
