Should I be worried? Pictures of new cartridge.

Posted by T&T (A) on April 11, 2007 at 19:25:41

On the plus side, the upgrade from MM to MC was not a small change in my system. In fact, now that I am hearing the new cartridge I am pretty sure my old cartridge was damaged. Bass output, and the level of detail is astonishing. I am so impressed with the difference a cartridge can make, I may buy another. (Rega Apheta or Koetsu Black)

Sarah Mclachlan Surfacing (180 gram pressing) has a song with very deep bass that missed two notes with my old cartridge. Now my walls are shaking with deep bass from these two missing notes. This is not subtle in any way. It is night and day compared to the Linn Adikt.

The level of detail is almost too much. Can a swap from MM to MC really be this dramatic?

On the down side, I noticed the stylus was slightly bent when I took it from the case. When I place the stylus on an album, it slightly pulls to the center of the album. Should I be concerned? Or is this normal with a stylus like this? I'm wondering if I need to contact the dealer that sold this. I've changed the all settings on my P5 inculding the alignment of the cartridge head, and nothing prevents this slight lean in. Here are some pictures. (As best I could take them)

Help !
