How to Sample Cartridges in My Own System?
You get to buy it then if your not happy you have to sell it used then get a new cartridge, this is why experience with a lot of different cartridges is highly rewarding...and a little costly. Example...Bought a Maestro V2 Ebony and thought it too laid back and warm for my system .Sold it , lost a couple hundred (learned a lot) then purchased a LOMC Dynavector. (which I love) Matt M |

I’m buyin’ them used (but not 6k units), but i’m pretty strict with the grading when i’m looking for used cartridges, actually never had a problems with used, but once i had a problem with brand new cartridge! The only way to decide which cartridge is really good in my system is to try it in my system on my tonearms. I think it’s great experience, but the desire to try many cartridges is dangerous for the pocket, so i have to sell some cartridges to try more different carts. I think it’s a part of the hobby. |

Having a subscription to a couple hard copy magazines (they are cheap) is a good way of seeing what a lot of brands are doing plus there are the reviews which I take with a big grain of salt. Also, If you see something well reviewed and talked about with high praise from several different sources it is wise to check it out. |
