Ortofon Cadenza Bronze or...?

[audio.bill]

I have a VPI Aries 3 with a Manley Chinook SE and a McIntosh C2300 (tubes and tubes). The Ortofon Cadenza Black was a much better match than the Bronze for my setup, but the Bronze still sounded fantastic.

Your preference matches my recommendation back in post #10; glad that you're so pleased with the Cadenza Black!
