Question:
Have you ever A/B'd different cartridges/needles to hear if one set is
superior to another?
I've been wrestling with what carts to get for a while now and still have
no clue.
I was using stanton 680s, which were great, moved to Groovemaster IIs,
which were fine, but I didn't like their ergonomics. Sold the GMIIs, and
now I'm running the 680s again. At this point I'm wondering:
a) Should I just get new needles for the 680s
b) Pick up a pair of ortofon OMs Pros (same as concorde)
c) get a pair of Shure M35 X's
d) go nuts and get stanton 681s
I do mix (backcueing, but no scratching) beaty music, but I'm more
concerned with a great sounding cartridge than superior tracking.
(that mounts on a standard technics headshell - I'm not looking for
anything "audiophile" )
I can site you all the specs in the world regarding the differences
between the products, but I really want some first (or second) hand
experience on sound quality.
TIA,
Gil
