I'm slowly but surely souring on this thing... Why's it so hyped? It's a great cartridge to come pre-fitted on a table, but I can't ever see myself buying it. The Blue maybe, but the Red? No way.
It's completely vacant on the low end, and treble just gets cut to ribbons through it. Imaging is okay, noise isn't bad, but nowhere near as low as reviews place it. What should I do? I want a smooth, smooth cart that'll deliver dynamic range and cut out record noise. Does anyone have experience with either the Kontrapunkt A or Rondo Series??
