ADC XLMII ... This cart is so fine ....

Posted by jazzthusiast (A) on September 28, 2014 at 16:18:58

Snagged two of these from an eBay seller a few yrs ago who was selling a collection of NOS, NIB @$75 per. I have it on my Nott Horizon. Recently swapped out with grado gold. No contest. Put the ADC back pronto. This MM has the virtues of a MC. It has so much transparency, finesse, image, deep & well defined bass, dynamics to spare, etc... I know the high compliance suggests a lower mass tonearm than the RB250, but it sounds great. The black body, I believe, is indicative of the last iteration of the production cart. Glad I bought two. Photos show it tracking orig, UK Parlophone, Beatles mono Sgt Pepper, which is outstanding. BTW, the new mono SP reissue holds its own very well by comparison. May be even a little less edgy than orig.
