Matching cartridge with Reference Phono 3
 
I have AR Phono Reference 3 and VPI HW-40 on order. My dealer is recommending Miyajima Saboten L or Kiseki Purple Heart MC cartridge.

I would like to know from others here who have AR Reference Phono what they are using.

Also, would like to hear form some of you who already have the HW-40.

Those are good choices, I would also suggest a cartridge in the Lyra or Dynavector lines as well. Dynavectors match up very well with VPI tables and arms. My dealer sold both and recommended the Dynavectors FWIW.

One thread on your Topic/Question is adequate. :ok:

Your question was before the HW-40 was released. Mine is now for those who already own it.

You started two identical threads in two different forums. This one will remain, since it already had posts to it.

I have a Dynavector XV1t and Lyra Atlas. The Dynavector is very smooth and self-effacing. The Lyra is a bit more revealing and, in short, a stunner. I prefer the Lyra although you can't go wrong with either one. I have an Audio Rsearch Ref phono 2 and a VPI HRX rim drive with 3d arm and superplatter as you can see below. Hope this helps.

I am using the Kiseki PurpleHeart NS with my Reference 3 Phono and the Sumiko Pearwood Celebration II. I think both are phenomenal choices.

I plan on using an Airtight PC-1 Supreme in my HW-40

The Airtight Opus 1 is also a candidate depending on availability.

I have a Lyra Etna on my Gimbal 12’’ Fatboy and it’s heaven
