go with the sds. That way you will isolate its impact on your system with the present cartridge. I second Jloveys, don't spend over $1K on a cartridge. I tried a Shure 97 in my vpi once and I was shocked, almost equaled my $2k Clearaudio MC.
Vpi aries with Jmw-10 looking to upgrade cartridg
I'm currently running an Benz Ace and thinking about going to the L-2 woodbody. They have a 1000.00 exchange from the factory. Do you think this is a worthwhile upgrade for a 1000.00. Or should I just get an SDS instead. My dealer said the cartridge would be a better uggrade. What do you think?
