What tonearm and cartridge for Avid Sequel TT?

Triplanar VII + Zyx Cartridge

kenley, Was wondering what you ended up doing?
I use the Sequel/sme V with Benz Gullwing, nice combo that i like more than the Lyra Kleos or Grado Statement Ref. 1 that ive used with this table/arm combo.

I think that you may see Avid tt's mated with SME tonearms because both originate in the UK. As a general rule, mating tonearm with cartridge is a better way to go than to mate tonearm with tt. So when you choose the tonearm to go with the Avid tt, think hard on what cartridge you will choose to go with.

That's a really fine turntable! I have a Volvere SP with a SME IV.Vi arm and a Benz Ruby Z cartridge. Phono amp is a Art Audio Vinyl One.

I'm curious about your table improvement decision -- it appears to be like trading-in a 1950 Chevy for a 2012 Maserati Quattroporte. You might want to start your vinyl rebirth with less acceleration. I'm not trying to be critical, just helpful.

P.S. make sure you have tubes somewhere in your amplification chain.

probably Pulsus, approx 3k

On mine I have an SME 4 with a Clearaudio Concerto. Great turnatable combining best of suspended and non suspended TT attributes, plus very easy to setup (including SME as well)

Most of the AVID TTs I have seen have often had SME arms so there is presumably some synergy there but that is only anecdotal. As for cartridges, that is more a matter of personal preference and what phono stage you plan on using in your TT set-up. What phono will you be using and what is your budget for tonearm and cart?
