Just had my Sonata re-tipped by Soundsmith with the ruby cantilever/tip $250 option. It sounds better than an original IMO. More bottom end, same excellent mid/vocals.
Grado cartridge for vintage setup?
Hello,
I'm in the market for a new cartridge (or replacement stylus). I'll likely stick with a Grado as I can get my Platinum re-tipped. However, I'm curious if upgrading to Sonata might be worth it ($240 for Platinum retip vs $400 Sonata retip)?
My setup:
Revolver 'table and tonearm
NAD 1020 Preamp
NAD 2140 Power Amp
JBL 18Ti speakers
In your opinions, is the Sonata overkill for my setup?
Thank you!
