How did the DS Audio cartridge sound when you heard it?

@jperry, I will only look at cartridges that can track 80 um or better. My high frequency hearing is not near as bad as most people my age. I have no trouble hearing 16 kHz. The Grand Master would hurt to listen to on my system. I don't have to hear it to know that. It's frequency response curve tells it all. If you don't think so it is because you do not have enough experience measuring and correcting amplitude. My system can correct for the aberrant frequency response but it can do nothing about the tracking performance. Miss tracking is very obnoxious. What people say it sounds like is of absolutely no use to me. It only matters what it sounds like on my system and with measured performance like that I have less than ZERO interest in spending $60 large to find out. I have an idea. Why don't you buy one and tell us what you think. |
I too love the DS cartridge. It is not bright and the bass is the best I’ve ever heard from vinyl. This cart just sounds natural to me. I can say this because I own the Grand Master. @mijostyn , There many good and bad cartridge’s out there but I can’t really Judge them since I haven’t owned or heard them. I do agree that the 84 Vette was a piece of crap though. |
While true, the 84 vette and all the “ plastic pigs “ of that era were junk, an IROC Z would run circles around it. The overweight 300 zx is on few coveted lists today. I passed a lot of them in the 944 delivery van we used at the HiFi shop…. Mijo, how is The Voice working out ?….. I am a 944 Robot in a lipstick Nissan world… Jim |
