Overall this cart revealed layers of rich music with a wide sound stage and great dynamics. As I mentioned before, my experience with phono cartridges is limited but I would have no hesitation in recommending the Stradivari. Joey.
Thanks Joey. Detailed but smooth is one of the characteristics that I find appealing. Glad to see that its working out well. Hopefully you're almost to the point that you can just kick back and enjoy the music

Regards, Mark
