With that said is there anything from my list that you can recommend? This is my last stop as Headfi, guttenberg, Darko, and YouTube are not helpful for cartridge content. I do not like grado headphones of that sound signature carries over to their cartridges. Prefer musicality with low end punch and transparent highs over something like a detailed analytical sound like the Sennheiser HF800s. With that said I do enjoy my audeze headphones (LCD-X & LCD-3F) and their sound signature. Likely $300 - $500 would be the hopeful budget but would go +/- $200 if there is a sweet spot out there. Don't have a fixed budget just looking for a dramatic upgrade and want to keep the TD125/3009 combo and just change the cart. Koetsu /Van Den Hul (probably out of budget)Īny other options I'm missing or something you would suggest? I can start narrowing down prices once I can narrow down the list a bit. Soundsmith otello high compliance (would this work or any better options from soundsmith?) Shure V15-III (also a JICO stylus upgrade is mentioned but which one?)ĭenon DL-110 (which is better the 103 or 110 also ZU or just straight Denon cart?) Here is a list that I've seen referenced in other threads: Based upon what I've been able to find this version of the 3009 "Improved" is designed for higher compliance and somewhat lighter cartridges than the earlier arms. I haven't been able to find a "current" list of Cartridges that fit this combo as most threads are 8-10 years old or mix the 3009 Un-improved / Improved together. I'd like to get something that provides more detail as well as more low/high end punch. The platter spins smoothly thanks to a 19mm high-chrome tool-steel spindle sitting in a sealed housing lined with sintered bronze bearings.I currently have a near entry-level Audio-Technica cart that is fine but feeling the need for an upgrade. The damping material is then diamond-turned to create a surface covered with fine fibres to support the record.Ī lovely-to-handle record clamp forces the vinyl down onto the platter, flattening any (slight) warping in the process. It’s a 5kg piece of highly machined aluminium alloy lined with damping material on the top (where the record sits). The platter is no ordinary affair, either.
The design is highly effective, with the deck barely registering the footfalls that made Linn’s suspended LP12 jump grooves when playing.
Together with the platter, the subchassis weighs in at a hefty 11kg.
It uses 30 moulded rubber O-rings, combined with a central fluid-filled damper to help control the motion of the subchassis. The Model 15 is a suspended deck, but not by conventional methods. Technically, there’s a lot going on here.
