Cartridge suggestions for my rig
Lean cartridge is not my game either. Many like the Dynavectors with an LP-12. Your arm could probably handle the Xv1 range but you might want to start with an XX2-mkII to see if you like the Dynavector house sound. Def not lean or aggressively de...

Solid State Phono Stages
