I need help choosing a cartridge.
I have a Michell Gyro with an SME 3009 S2 imp. arm. My current cartridge is a Grado Sonata. My phono pre amp is a LITE LS37. It has a MC pre section but I have never used it.
I have an opportunity to trade for a new cartridge. The options are a Sumiko Blackbird or a Sound Smith Zephyr. Would either of these be good choices with my current set up? Would a MC ( I have never owned one) be an advantage over a MM?
