Never had a Grace cart but I read great reviews. My all-time favorite MM cart was the Shure V15Type3. But my favorite cart was the MC Dynavector 10x3. I guess I could upgrade my REGA Carbon on my Planar 3 but since most of my LP's are used I like the conical stylus.

Yeah, for the past decade or so I've really enjoyed the Benz Micro sound I have now. Did give a listen prior to COVID setting in to one of the Hana cartridges mounted on a new generation Technics (1200G), a very nice combination I could easily live with and enjoy.

As of late I have some interest in Lederman's 'Soundsmith' line of cartridges

Still using the same tt for last 36/37 years, a Technics SL1200mk2. Don't remember all the cartridges I used with that and the Dual 1219 I had before that....currently using the Shure M97Xe which will likely be the last one as well. I have used several other Shures, Grados, Empire, Stanton, and a few others I'm not coming up with.....

Had Shures Empires but never had a Grado. How did you like it? I always read things about the Grados.

 

[afterlife2]

not sure on the TT; cartridge, GRADO perhaps ?

It's this one.

I'd knew it would be expensive. The pic is from the new sex and the city series. It belongs to Carrie and Mr. Big.

Found the Grados worked as well as any of the others, and at one point were quite the bargain.

At their price they still seem to be. But they reportedly produce hum in REGAs, so I won't be trying one anytime soon in my Planar 3.

Thanks Mike I haven't seen that chart in a while. Too bad Grado doesn't shield their carts they could be more universally accepted. They supposedly have great sound. Too bad because I do think they make great sounding headphones and I currently own a SR60 and it is my preferred phone.

Thanks Mike

Thanks David, I envy you for getting the pleasure of riding behind that locomotive. I did once have the pleasure of taking an Amtrak train form San Antonio to Pittsburgh when I left the Air force. Really saw some of the country you don't see on interstates.

Nice it's probably great to listen to his music. Wasn't he an original member of Genisis?

What are the spec? What are the components that comprise this TT? I'm doing the same thing with my displays and a multicolor LED strip acting as my back light. I don't see what the big deal is. *LOL*

Roxy Music

Agreed but I think he worked with Genesis on A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. He also worked with Phil Collins on other projects.

Might be easier to define Eno as to who he didn't work with

Can you name each album? This is the best vinyl haul in a while.
