    That looks like a Poject expression III.

    Are you getting it with the supplied Sumiko Oyster 3 cartridge?

    I personally doubt you will be happy with that cartridge. It only has a spherical stylus, and an elliptical one really is required for other than a very basic cartridge.

    I would negotiate an upgrade.

    I'm no fan of Asian cartridges or their speakers.

    I just don't like the tonality of most of their electroacoustic devices.

    In Canada, they are being supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red which I had on my previous turntable. I know you're no fan of Ortofon but I happen to like their sound.

    That's the one I have, the Red. It sounds good to me and I think you will like it.

    I don't know what gave you the idea I do not like Ortofon cartridges. I don't like the OM series but the rest are fine. The RED is good value for money.

    I can hear a difference between my previous Debut III's OM-5e but it is just a slight improvement. I found even the $50 worth OM-5e sounded very acceptable and seemed quieter as it may be less sensitive to rumble or record surface noise. Overall I definitely prefer the red but I think most people may expect more significant improvements.

    I had the OM-10 with my Xpression II and I upgraded to the Red and I noticed that ithe Red was less suscpetable to the ticks and pops but still let the highs come through. I'm wondering how much an improvement I will hear of the Xpression III over the II
