RE: Ortofon OM 20; REVIEW & the Shure catridge deception unveiled

By "BPS", are you referring to the Blue Point Special? If so, yes. It's one of the most awful sounding cartridges I've ever heard; bright, harsh, and thin in spades.

I do need a phono stage upgrade. I'm waiting for my tube phono stage to be rebuilt. The NAD I'm using is rather pleasant, though not the last word in transparency. I have others around the house that I refer to occasionally. My issue with previous cartridges is not phono stage related, though. My tests are never limited to one phono stage, one table/arm, through the same amps or speakers. These are universal commonalities that are observed over long periods of experimentation. I've been through as many phono preamps as I have cartridges, but that's another story entirely.
