Re: Why do people diss the Ortofon OM10? Also my Shure/AT carts

the $ involved may have something to do with it....anyone who spends thousands on a cartridge might have issues accepting that a $40 cartridge can sound OK. Plus, a $40 cart on a hi-end & tuned TT is gonna sound difft than on a less engineered set-up.

i'm just talking trash here, but tt & arm compatibility play a big factor too. To me, its real hard to compare the new AT440Mla to the OMB-10, the AT is just SO much more. but again, my table, my room, my ears....you know!

what kills me is how my Grado Gold shakes violently at the end of the Cardas Sweep track, but this cheap-o OMB-10 rides the grooves like a freight train. Sure there ar diffs in SQ, but a cartridge above all else needs to track the information accurately. some mfgrs just do it right...
