Maybe of interest to you since you have a Shindo Giscours: I had been running an MC1B on a Schroeder tonearm and DPS table into an Auditorium 23 T2 step-up and Shindo Giscours with beautiful results. The Allaerts is incredibly rich and textured in tonality with lots of detail. Despite also running other more popular Shindo combinations (EMT TST15 and JSD S75), the Allaerts remained my favourite cartridge for the past 8 years. I am still running the MC1B, now directly into the Accuphase C37 and E600.

Interesting table as well - will need to check it out sometime.

Best wishes,

Rene


Hello Rene,

Very interesting comments. Many thanks.
I share your thoughts about the supreme musicality of the JA cart.
I just sold the Giscours actually. 2 high end preamps were too much for a single man. And I sold my T2 about 1 year ago.
I am very happy with the 3 carts I use but the JA has a great appeal. Although I do not feel comfortable in spending big amounts on carts.
Cheers,
J.
