Hi Neobop,Victor TT-101 actually....Fully nuded in custom stainless steel cradle with 25lb custom cast bronze arm-pods.... AT33Mono is less than $400 and is loaded at 220 Ohms. Ortofon Cadenza Mono is over $1,000 but should be even better...
I have an original x1mkii stylus and have been trying to get a body for more than 3 years.... Each time one comes up, it goes for more than I am willing to pay......It is a heavily laminated core in a very shure like design, and was made after JVC's extensive phase and CD4 research... yes it should be good
Hi Neobop,I've just installed my first mono cartridge...the AT33MONO which may be more than you wish to spend....but is a LOMC true mono and not a HOMC like the AT33LP.With only about 6 hours on it so far.....the differences this cartridge makes over a 'mono' button on the phonostage or preamp are significant..not so much with the Beatles mono set (perhaps because they were cut with stereo heads).....but with all my other mono recordings, I sit in disbelief..
I've only played one record and I think it might need some loosening up, but the presentation was superior to a stereo cart or a strapped stereo cart. This was on an old Blue Note Kenny Durham album, one with a blue and white label. By presentation I mean everything is more coherent, natural sounding. I'm not sure how to express it but it sounds more like everything is from the same recording instead of sounding disjointed, like you're listening to parts of the whole.
I just got Scott's 102 set-up the other night. I've only played one record and I think it might need some loosening up, but the presentation was superior to a stereo cart or a strapped stereo cart.
