Well tempered gta and Allnic 1201 which cartridge?


I currently am using a Hana el and assume that’s my weak link considering my new table and phonostage.

I used that same phono pre with a WT Amadeus for a while and did a lot of research and tried out a few different cartridges.  I went from the Ortofon Rondo Bronze to the Dynavector XX-2 to a Transfiguration Orpheus.  They all sounded great, but in the end the Orpheus was my favorite, which I still use with my Amadeus.  I wanted to try the EMT line as many use it with the Amadeus and love it, but never did.

I don't think you can go wrong in your system with any of those cartridges, though.

I also briefly tried a Koetsu Rosewood longbody, but even using a lot of damping fluid in the cup (which is what they say to do with that kind of cartridge that needs a high mass arm) I was having issues with tracking and sibilance, so I gave up on it and went back to the Orpheus.
