I bought a P10 and choose to have the Hana Humami red because it´s less expensive for me , i kept the alpheta 3 to install in a old Pioneer turntable from 79,
i also have in a Sl-3100 from technics a Grado prestige II gold it sounded very good but i notice in diferent sounding records the Grado(not only) makes it sound very strange, but most of them sound very good ,
i only have the opinion that old turnatbles and cartridges were better or compatible with any tipe of sound in record as it happened all my life ,this new wave things are strangelly done,
too expensive compared to old cartridges taking in account the price at the time and what one wearned every month, for no reason cartridges were bigger as the sytlus itself had 5 X more hours of listening than todays stylus, also sound quality was very good above 100€ range,
in some years (around 1990)one could buy a good technics with all included for 100€ and a bit more depending on the turntable model,
also depends in the country , some had better wages and even less expensive would be to buy a technics turntable and already proved to be more faithfull to the specifications provided than new Rega and Pro-Jects close or around 1.000€ even new ,when measured the specifications are far from what is described, check some tests done by old hi-fi especialists on youtube,
