RE: A waste of money...

I'd never even consider a $12K cartridge, even if I could afford one.

As far as Grado is concerned, I had VPI install a Grado Prestige Gold 1 (on their recommendation) on my Traveler when I ordered this 'table several years ago. I quickly realized why Art Dudley dissed this cartridge. What a boring sound. I can't necessarily say that it did anything glaringly wrong, but it really didn't do anything right, either. Then it began to hum. Begone Grado! A $70 (on sale from Amazon) Shure M97xE kicked the Grado's butt when temporarily installed on this Traveler. A $12K Grado? Get real!!!!!!!

Cheers,
SB
