..I have had every Denon (except a 110), a Dynavector 17D3 and the 10X5, a Benz MC Gold and an Audio Technica AT33EV.

In my system the hands down winner was the Denon DL-S1, which I did not keep because the output was too low.

A very, very close second is the AT33EV, which I am keeping. It's an $800 (?) cartridge that is available at most e-tailers for $599 or $499. BUT, J&R music world just got them back in (they were out for 6 months) and are still selling them for $399. That's a steal.

YMMV.

I've never heard the ones you are considering.

Best of luck!

Dean.

I think we were A/B comparing the DL S1 to a well regarded Shelter. - tubesforever 11:09:15 10/31/11 (1)
