Just a quick update. I wish I had gone to a MC cartridge years ago. The difference in sound is just incredible! I wish I could write my reviews like Dan (jdandy), all I can say is that I love the sound of my system so much more with the Cadenza Blue! Oh yea, by the way tomorrow I will be listening to the AMR CD-777.

Jeff.......Thanks for the follow up on the Ortofon Cadenza Blue. I am still contemplating the Cadenza Blue to replace my Ortofon 2M Black moving magnet phono cartridge.

Dan... Just as a reference. When I went from the 2M Bronze to the 2M Black I didn't notice a huge difference. I would actually say if someone wanted to save a few bucks the bronze would do nicely and pocket the extra bucks for something else. On the other hand if some one asked me 2m Black of Cadenza Blue I would tell them there is no comparison. It is a night & day difference. The Cadenza Blue has brought my vinyl to a totally new level. I will always run a mc cartridge for now on. I would also very much like to try a Benz-Micro Gullwing soon. Damn! My shopping list just gets longer & longer.

Congrats Jeff and thanks for the followup. I have been using Clearaudio Maestro MM for 6 yrs now - my 2nd Maestro. I have never heard a moving coil in my system. Your experience is helpful I am also hopeful to get into a Benz Gullwing on my VPI arm
