Emile's Audio System

by vinhusc on Opinions Please

Description

I'm just ok with this system.

However, I am a new baby to the analog world, Turntable. And you have to assumed that I do NOT know about turntable!

I just got a Transrotor ZET 3 with 2 motors and Oracle-SME 345 tonearm.

I am seeking an advice from audiogon member for the cartridge that could sound the best within my system. I have couple option with the Benz Micro, Dynavector and could be Koetsu.

I listen to soft-music, jazz, blues, and some classical (violin/piano) most of time.

To be honest, my financial is tie-up and I could NOT consider some ultra high-end cartridge!

Thank you very much for all of the advice.

Thanks and I'm thinking about Koetsu Rosewood Signature or Dynavector Te-Katura Rua and Benz Micro.

Do try Dynavector xv1, Koetsu Rosewood or the new Allnico line, good match for your system but all different in sonic presentation.
