What cartridges are you using?

With out knowing what your after sound wise and just reading from your signature of gear I would consider the Benz Gullwing, works well with your table, arm and will do so with the E-03.....there are other cartridge too but consider one's with a slightly lower output. The 66dB of gain from the E-03 is slightly high for the 0.6mV Delos.

Just bought the Benz Gullwing for my V12 and absolutely love it.

I had the Cadenza Bronze before, and while it is a superb cart, the Gullwing is so much better.

Where did you find it? I can’t seem to locate any.

Hi Moby, that is a little bit the thing, they’re not easy to find. As I live in Europe, it is a bit easier here.

But if I remember correctly there was a dealer on the Sharks forum who still had stock. I’ll try to locate that posting for you.

Well, I’ve pulled the trigger. I’ve ordered a Soundsmith Paua MKII - a low compliance low output cartridge that matches well with my Tonearm and Phono Pre. It has received tremendous reviews (including by people I know and trust) and can be rebuilt for less than 20% of its retail price. Add to that the fact that the seller credited me with virtually the full amount I paid for my Lyra Delos several years ago in a trade-in and this became a no brainer. Hopefully my extended period of GAS since the beginning of the year is now satisfied.

Congrats and please let us know your thoughts on the SS Paua MkII once you have some time with it, enjoy it in the best of health!
 
Congrats, Soundsmith is a great choice.

Did you get a chance to hear it in your system before deciding?

Unfortunately not. Since I live in the Rockies, far from an urban area like NYC or LA that has lots of brick and mortar stereo stores, I often have to buy audio equipment blind without audition and based solely on advice and reviews. I'm surprised, frankly, that it works out as well as it does. I'll give a full report once it arrives and has been burned in. The upside is that yesterday I got to see two mountain lions on a neighbor's back deck and a magnificent bald eagle by a local pond. That is stuff you can't buy!

After using SPU Classic and Royal I set up my Dynavector XV-1S onto the SME 3012-R. Preferring this a lot more.
