What cart are using with your Cornet 2?
« on: 14 Jan 2012, 05:10 pm »
Hi,

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but I don't see a way to search the forum threads.  I'm wondering what cartridges other Cornet owners have had success with - I want to research as carefully as possible my tonearm/cart/preamp match up.  Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this -

Hello Robert,
On one of my tables I am using an Ortofon 2M Black, (excellent cart.). On my Clearaudio Concept I am using a Maestro wood, but I am switching to moving coil so I am building a Picollo with a Bugle power supply. The C2 sounds fantastic with both tables and carts I am using. I have no doubts it will perform well with any setup you want.

Cheers,
Shawn P.

I'm using a Goldring G1042. My table, an ancient Harmon/Kardon T55C, has a low mass arm and the Goldring is a perfect match. It sounds great too.

Have enjoyed simple Rega Elys.  Great improvement. No complaints and enjoyed sounds.  Great phonostage.
