I've just got hold of the new pro-ject genie Mk2 turntable, which has replaced an old Pioneer PL-12D I had fitted with an AT-95E cartridge. The Genie, although looks lovely, hasn't offered much of a sound improvement and if anything sounds a little 'muddier'. I wasn't expecting a massive difference, but hoped for at least 'as good as'.
Would the Genie benefit from a cartridge upgrade from the standard fitted OM3? Or should I stick my (reasonably new) AT-95 on there?
