I just picked up a new Clearaudio Maestro Wood for my WT Reference TT... One word ... Wow! Only played 5 LPs so far & it sounds great! It's everything my Grado Reference Sonata was but much more extension (on both ends), imaging, soundstaging, better cohesiveness from my horns, all improved, horns really sound real. In an adjoining room while listening, it seems "real", like you're in a club...
Also, what a great tracker & also very, very quiet... I thought my phono stage was pretty quiet... now it's dead silent... I must of had some slight hum attributed to the Grado...
I am told it will take 50+ hrs to break-in this new cartridge... can't wait to hear what'll it sound like then...
My $0.02,
Pete
