RE: it's not just about the cartridge

The phono stage is also a very important component in the sound of a vinyl system. I have a good friend with a VPI Prime turntable and an Allnic H-1201 Vacuum Tube Phonostage. I visit him for listening sessions about once a month and he is now using an Audio Technica AT-ART7 phono cartridge in his Prime. His vinyl front-end sounds awesome. He auditioned a Dynavector 20XL and a Denon DL-S1 before selecting the Audio Technica AT-ART7. I don't believe he tried any MM cartridges, though.

I have another friend with a VPI HR-X turntable with 12-inch 3D tonearm and an E.A.R. preamplifier. He also uses one of the new Audio Technica AT-ART7 cartridges and his vinyl front-end is one of the best sounding I've ever heard.

Good luck,
John Elison
