CARTRIGES:

Clearaudio Maestro MM cartridge for special occasion (and perfect records).

AudioTechnica AT440mla for 90% of the time and those old, not in perfect shape records.

I've had this set up for 4+ years. Longevity is the strongest sign of something that fits the bill well.

The MM cartridges go straight into my Shindo Monbrison.

I would not trade my setup for one of those $80K monster turntable or any modern turntable. They may be quieter, smoother, more accurate, etc., but this setup has "soul" and heart and deliciousness.

Great thread but let's see some more pictures guys!
