What cartridges are you using?

My bronze cardenza were accidentally knocked off when adjustment being made [emoji15][emoji15]

Just switched to VDH canary on my magne,

first impression: very airy and high rez.

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your Cadenza Bronze.

As for the VDH, is "high rez" a good thing?

Mike,

This is may too early to summarize the characteristic of Canary, high rez means I'm hearing more compare previous one. speaking of childhood where we are using 16x color pencils vs 24/32 pencils, you get more complex colors palette. It's crystal clear without veiled, 3 dimensional with high airy between each instrument's and maintaining solid image, clean and the precision.

The challenge maybe this cart will give no mercy to bad pressing record, and I missed the sweetness and warmish of my bronze :(

Huge difference between these 2 carts
 
The Stanton 881S was their top of the line cartridge back in 1977, I recall having one in my college years. It was one of the top rated MM carts in its day, and many such designs still have their fans and have had a resurgence of popularity in today's used cartridge market. Of course with cartridges of that age the stylus condition is not the only concern, since suspension damping components (often rubber) also age and harden over time which affects tracking ability.

Wasnt pickering considered the better cartridge back then? i had both Stanton and pickering later leaving both for Grado by 79 , Some of My friends favored the V15 , but i was never a fan , favoring Grado and AT , for non MC...


Regards
 
Same cartridges with slightly different cosmetics and different target markets. The Stanton side of the building concentrated on marketing to broadcasters and studios first then home audio. Pickering was entirely targeting the home audio market.
