symptoms of a new cartridge ?

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Hi all.

Might seem like a novice question but I have not owned a TT for 35 years. Just bought one again and really love it. It came with an Audio Technica AT95 MM, which is a very entry level piece but sounded ok for the most part. Just had my dealer install a new Hana SL ( low-output MC ) which retails for about 6 x more. This guy has been setting up tables for 40 years, so I did not question his abilities, and he set it up over 2-3 days, tweaking, listening, tweaking, listening until he felt it was as good as it can get before break in re-adjustment tuning.

To me, it's more involving and much quieter by overall means, but it can get quite zippy in the top end frequencies, like " shouty " or " heres your damned music " type of thing if you follow me. He did say this will subside after 30-50 hours or so...

Any other advice from my esteemed colleagues?

thanks
