What cartridges are you using?

Added a new Air Tight PC-1 Supreme to my system recently. It's my full time cartridge now with a Benz LP-Smr here "just in case"
 
I've been using the DS Audio W1 and Master1 lately and they are incredible. They are a great combination of the power and warmth of a cartridge like the EMTs and the refinement of a modern moving coil without the ringing of a moving coil.

Hi beatnik.
great hearing about some experience with DS AUDIO carts.
can you elaborate on what arm do you mount them on? which carts did they replace\you compare them to?
thank you!
 
Ortofon Quintet Black here, on my Bryston TT. First moving coil, am loving it so far! Question for the floor: Ortofon's little pamphlet/manual says not to use cleaning fluids lest they loose adhesives...what do people here think? Any risk? I will admit though that if there's been one surprise with this cart so far it's been how little surface noise I hear, which is really a dramatic change over what i had been using previously.

EMT 75G limited edition, first impressions good rhythmic and meat and bones.

I believe the cartridge is the Tsd-75. My understanding is it sells for around $100 more than Tsd-15, and is the latest iteration of the Tsd....

My local dealer is trying to talk me into the Hana cart. I know he is really impressed with it at it's price point.

They are superb for the money, neutral and detailed and musical. Unless you upgraditis, this is sufficient to enjoy music. Like Art 9, haven't compared the two, and not fair comparing this to higher priced ortofon, Lyra, or zyx.
