Any recommendations for a moving coil that has some speed, excellent top end extension, an EVEN tonal balance, a hall perspective of row five to row fifteen from the front stage and a retail price tag not above $2000 ?
08-24-05: Rauliruegas Dear Opus: The Sumiko Celebration is a great match for your musical priorities and the best for your SME tonearm.
The voicing of this cartridge was on a SME Iv/V tonearm.
Please read the Stereophile review of the SME 30 TT. There you can read about this Sumiko Celebration.
Nsgarch and Gregad: I don't like the SME tonearm with the Transfiguration or the Helikon. Both are very good performers, especially the Transfiguration, but in other tonearm.
