Just in general, Ortofon over Clearaudio. But that's just me. The Ortofon cartridges in general give you a better bang for the buck, tend to be more neutral in tonal balance. The better CA cartridges are expensive and tend (I say "tend") to sound a little top heavy to these ears. None of this is absolute fact.
Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex
Hi Everyone,
Hoping to find some folks who have experience with both of these cartridges. I already have a Proteus, which I love. I have another, different, excellent cartridge with which I'm having some problems, and I am looking for a low internal impedance (<5 ohm) reasonable output cartridge (> .2-.3 mV) to replace it. As low noise as possible. I am just wondering whether the ultra eminent EX from my sonic labs would sound very similar to the Proteus that I already have. If so, I would probably consider getting something with a slightly different sonic signature. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
