Been using an Ortofon MC-X20 for a few months on a Denon DP3000NE with a Project Tube Box DS2. Generally fairly happy with it until I played Miles Davis Sketches of Spain. It sounded thin and didn’t seem to track too well. Had the 301 for several years, tried it on a few different turntables never really got on with it sounded dull and uninteresting. Listening to it now is a completely different experience. It’s brought Sketches of Spain to life, never heard Miles Davis sound this good. Maybe synergy is everything and the Shelter cartridge really suits a tube preamp? Davis Sketches of Spain. It sounded thin and didn’t seem to track too well.

Testina di grande valore, riproduzione raffinata e priva di qualsiasi asprezza, voci scintillanti e profonde, riproduzione di alta qualità su tutte le frequenze. A confronto con la mitica Denon DL 103 possiede una raffinatezza nei dettagli ed una dinamica nettamente superiore. frequenze.
