Phaser,
1. this is a *new cart* a replacement for a defective one.
Well, maybe it again is defective?!
I sounds ~"MC wise" OK and not *bad* at all, but ultimately is not as good as some other NOS carts I mentioned. In the most simple of terms is does not track as good as the "others".
2. Again as I stated, I have tried just about EVERYTHING in the book, with every loading conceivable, including SUT usage also with no loading, primary-, and secondary- loading of MANY, many different values.
Now go try and explain to me what else is missing, if I use those NOS carts mentioned and I get superior results?
It can not be my phono-pre I say, since if it's not up to scratch it's like that all the way, and not just with MCs only, right? (I'm using the exact same gain settings for both 60dB)
Also you will find in more then one thread tracking issues discussed *no end*, and ALL are related to MCs!
So I think my case is not an exception here.
I am also REALLY very glad that something like the A90 seems to have finally sorted some / all of this, and therefore my interest.
Yet I am sceptical by now, and it will take a lot more for me just go out and buy this one. The last item was my Windfeld purchase based on all this *beautiful* hype ("worlds best cartrige" BS) so some stupid NOS cart sounds better?!
It is disappointing, and having taken that last *marvel* out of production just after ~ 1 year! is not going to make me go run for the next one right now, for sure.
Greetings,
Axel
