I am new to the site but have been an avid reader of What Hi-Fi reviews for some time.
I upgraded the cartridge on my turntable - music hall 1.3 - to a Goldring E3.. It is paired with a Rega MM MK3 prestage with an AS701 Yamaha amp and Wharfedale Diamond 250 speakers. The needle is still breaking in, but the sound is extremely brite - hi frequency and mid-range dominate. Separation and clarity are good. Is this brite sound common with the E3 or is it a function of my equipment paired with the E3? I was hoping for a more balanced sound across frequencies than the stock needle.
Thanks,
StratDoc
