In Reply to: Another top 10 list - phono cartridges posted by geraldm121 on September 19, 2011 at 11:25:09:
First of all this is a really hard thing to limit to just 10. Some of the entries below are listed based upon a series of cartridges. Some of each of those series were better than others. Some may have been forgettable. Some were great and thats why the series is listed.1) Ortofon MC A90 (ground breaking sound)
2) Fidelity Research FR1 Mk 3 (a great cartridge is a great cartridge)
3) Denon DL-103 series (timeless)
4) ADM XLM series (IMO one of the best MM ever made)
5) Shure V15 series (not my favorite but you have to give respect where its due)
6) Ortofon SPU series (no list of great cartridges is worth its salt without these)
7) Madrigal Carnegie One
8) Koetsu (all of them for one reason or another)
9) Grado Signature 8MZ (another classic)
10) SoundSmith Strain Gauge Cartridge SystemThat's my attempt of the best 10 cartridges. They are in not particular order and 1 - 10 does not denote any ranking.
Note that the Lyra cartridges deserve to be in anyone's top list as well as Transfigration or Allaerts (not to mention the Grace F9) so please forgive my not including them in the above list. Again, I only had 10 things to list...
