What cartridge for Technics sl-1200mkII?

Have you seen this vid?

Anyway, I betcha the Zu guys ended up with their design by starting along the same road. The plastic body on the '103 is the only obvious negative, nuding (or using the wood bodies that are popular on AA) clean that right up. I'd be interested in hearing/reading about the differences between the wood body and the Zu, but I'm lazy (and clumsy), so I'll probably just let Zu take care of it for me when the time is right. I spoke with the Zu folks a while ago and they told me they will do the same work on a DL-103R, for another $100 (IIRC). Not sure if that is still the case, though.

VA...I haven't spent any time with those Clearaudio's, alas. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a bit of A-T DNA floating around in there given their past history together, though I don't doubt the wood body makes for a positive sonic imprint in the right setup.

 

For dance music dj's like myself, the Ortofon Gold is a great cartridge to use for what I do.



Elliptical too, for us non-scratching guys

 

Yup, I've seen the vid. Looks like it wouldn't be too tough to do, so long as one has a modicum of dexterity and has drank just the right amount of coffee.

 

shure 97 mellowed I really like it, had it play for hours, now sounds nice

 

They use one of these on a 1210 at WCBS-FM, in NYC.

 

You'll like it even more with a SAS stylus on it.
