Will have to see....MC or MM......or keep the table and cartridge I have.  Denon DP-1250, ADC arm, Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood.

otello is their entry level cartridge

at $399...$100 for a retip..when needed..

Wanted to thank @johnnydrama, Mark, for a very enjoyable evening last night at my place, listening to some tunes and a couple of speaker setups that he may have read about on the forum, but had not had a chance to hear.  We both have our hands full with kids, grandkids, and other various things, but we made it work to get together.  Thanks again Mark.

Are you kidding me? The pleasure was all mine! Just look at the picture, Jim even let me sit in "the sweet spot" the entire time. It was absolutely amazing to lay eyes and EARs on gear that most only dream about. I also walked away as a proud new owner of a pair of Heresy's that I intend to implement into a 2ch living room setup.

 

Thanks again @jimjimbo for a very exciting evening. Looking forward to doing it again sometime!

we will ask BigStewMan as he is the catsup expert.

Chuck--i thought we were brothers -- i’m love KETCHUP and don’t allow Catsup in my house. 

Hitting the sweet spot does work, and i can assure you it works better than the time I was in Reno and some grungy guy comes over to my table, with his knife, to help me. He puts his knife into the bottle and i quickly thanked him, pulled the bottle away -- didn’t use it that meal. I know the dude was just trying to be nice; but, being a germaphobe, i couldn’t use the ketchup after that.

What's the problem with that?  I'm sure he licked the knife clean prior to helping you.
