Jfrech thanks for your comments am using a balanced connection. Will try to demo the Nagra ASAP.
Cartridge suggestions.
Have a PBN Groovemaster turntable with SME 312s arm with a BAT VKP 10SE phonostage and am looking for a cartridge that will let me hear all the breathing a singer takes in and all the air around the cymbals. Want the musicians or the singers to have the proper size and its most important for bass to be tight and have good detail, above all clarity is my biggest concern. Budget not to exceed $8400. Currently have a benz micro LPS all comments are greatly appreciated.
