Cartridge Recommendations


Hi all. I am potentially looking for an all-rounder to pair with my Da Vinci Grandezza 12", on a TW Raven AC. I have a Kondo IO-m which is likely going to Japan for some work. The idea is to get an all-rounder. At this stage, considering everything (of course the Da Vinci cart - but never met anyone who has owned one), so all suggestions are welcome. Synergy with the arm is critical (not changing arms). Phono at this stage is unclear, but am auditioning a Nagra VPS and enjoying it.

Many thanks in advance.

Does anyone using Ortofon A90? The top of A90 is not flat and has 3 mounted points. The Grandezza headshell is a bit small and could not cover all 3 points. I have to fabricate brass washers for the cartridge screws so that it would be level. Somehow I could not set the cantelever at 23 degree. When the tonearm is level it's still 30 degree. My consolation is the music still sound good even if it's not setup perfectly.

Cheers,
