As a long time owner of an LP12, I've used numerous cartridges; both MC & MM. I'm currently using a Clearaudio Arum Beta S (new lead body version) with results so great that I'm not going to replace it with another MC. The dynamics, detail, imaging and naturalness are all outstanding. There is non of the usual HI-FI sound so often found with MC's. I would say that it takes the best atributes of MC's and MM's and places them inside with a naturalness that has to be heard to be believed. This cartridge proves that price alone is not a reliable guide to quality.
Cartridge Help with LP-12/Ekos
Can anyone make a MM cartridge recommendation for my LP-12 table? As an interim step until my just-purchased (pre-owned!) Arkiv is rebuilt and a Linto phono pre-amp is bought, I think I'm going to have to go with some type of moving magnet for a while. Help!! This is the rig:
LP-12 Lingo (serial # low 8200's)
Trampolin
Cirkus
Ekos II
Any help at all would be great!!!!
