Hi Everyone, I just got a new phono cartridge...AT 33PTG/II. It comes directly from Japan and is not widely known here. Part of their prestige line. It is a low output MC type. An enthusiast in Michigan put me on to it. Not cheap ($515 incl shipping) but really special. I have been using Dynavector 10X5, Benz Micro MC Gold and Grado Reference Platinum ones. This one just flies by all easily. Very quiet in the groove, excellent separation, sound stage and presentation. Great detail. It seems to track in a part of the groove that others don't as some nearly unplayable LPs now sound pretty good. For all you vinyl junkies this one is hard to beat. If anyone is interested I can post the source as the price varies quite a bit on them. I have seen them going fro as much as $800.
Good Listening
Bruce
