I mean between an ZYX Airy R1000 3X or a Loricraft PRC-3.

I'm back into high-end audio for only about 1-1/2 years after being out for a dacade of so. I don't even know what those are. I THINK I've seen the brandnames. LOTS of stuff out there! .

The Airy is a moving coil cartridge and the Loricraft is a very good record cleaner. Both bring their own value to analog - I'm having a hard time deciding.

With the cart on the same (level of cleaness/dirty) LP, you only get a different presentation. The Loricraft changes the playing field. BTW, I've no commercial interest in Loricraft, etc...
