One obvious option, provided you have compatibility with your Phono Stage as far as Gain/Loading, here's a suggestion which no one else has mentioned yet, it appears, is go up the Benz Ladder? The old Glider is worth much more in upgrade trade, than an outright sale would be. Mark
Cartridge recommendation for VPI HR 6
I have a VPI HR-6 with JMW 12.5 arm and Audio Research PH3SE phono preamp. Have been using old Benz Glider and want to upgrade. Have been given recommendations...Soundsmith Voice, Shelter 501, Dynavector 20x, etc., but no opportunity to hear? Would appreciate any suggestions.
