Recommended a highly resolving cartridge


Hi all, all tube system that is warm with a good midrange presence inherently. I’m looking for a cartridge that offers high detail / resolution and wide / deep soundstage. This is on a stock SL-1200G TT. On a side note, if anyone has experience “upgrading” the stock tonearm on a G please chime in. I’ve read conflicting reports of the merits of such a move, and while I’m very happy with the tone of my TT and am not looking to move off of it, I am curious about a tonearm swap (must allow for headshell swapping).

@theophile 

Have you been attending the lewm school of Yamaha GT 2000 series misinformation?

If so, You’ve graduated with a Magna Cum Laude.

I know which arm you are speaking of: However, I have never laid eyes on that arm. Let alone owned one. Let alone used one.

ok - so here is your system page ( see below ) - I am talking about the pictures of "your" turntables in your system page. 

Included in your pictures on your system page is a straight tonearm with non offset bearings ( black TT ) and a GT2000 with an s shaped arm with what looks like offset bearings.

Now maybe the point I was making about the impact on azimuth when adjusting VTA on tonearms with offset and non offset bearings may be beyond your level of understanding, but your assertion that

Whatever it is you are smoking/snorting/injecting/quaffing sure evokes some fantastic writing. 

is asinine.

Please don't flatter yourself that I take the time to post on this forum to annoy you, I post my comments so that other folk who are more open minded and keen to learn can benefit from others experiences.

Components 

  •  
    • Yamaha Yamaha GT 2000X and Yamaha GT 2000
    Japan Only Ultra Direct Drive turntables.

     

    The GT 2000 released in 1982. YA-39 arm.

     

    The GT 2000X. Limited Edition released in 1985. YSA-1 arm.

Thus fantasy.

Dear @newton_john    : " 

Although it is branded as Linn, it is a Lyra made cartridge. "

 

Well, as Lyra cartridges and Linn/ Audioquest the cartridges were manufactured by Scan-Tech and designed by Lyra.

 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Dear @theophile   : I imagine that you don't use any more the 5000 A. I think that as a vintage unit Luxman made a great work with.
