Hi Guys,
I've recently been provided the opportunity to try using a moving coil cartridge in my set-up. The problem is that I don't have one. What I think will happen is that I will do so me poking around and see if anyone can share their opinions/experiences with me. Then I will probably purchase one based on people's experiences.
Here is what my system has going on right now from needle to speekers... Ortofon 2M bronze, Acoustic Research "The Turntable" with stock arm and motor- but it has Merrill platter, mat, and sub-chassis, DIY interconnects, AVA Phono stage, stock Pas-3 line stage, Torii MKIV (my pride and joy, thank you Steve), DIY speaker cable, Hartley Holton A's.
Some thing I'd like to keep away from is sibilance. It is my least desired attribute concerning audio. I also tend to be "treble sensitive" if that is possible, I tend to ratchet the treble down a bit. I guess you could say I like a full-figured presentation of the audio signal. At any rate, I'm looking to test the waters around 3-4 Franklins. Does anyone know of a MC cartridge that is worth a go for that budget.
I sure appreciate any and all contributions,
Thanks All
