Ceramic phono carts. Are they so bad?

Thanks, I'll go look and listen.

I used to use ceramic cartridges on a mobile disco years ago as they tracked a little heavier. Some venue's had wooden floor boards and things tended to bounce.
No problems these days with SSD's.

Quite a while back I posted some videos on YouTube of the Philips GP390 ceramic cartridge.

Search YouTube for "Thorens TD160 Super - Rega RB300 - Philips GP390 Ceramic Cartridge"

I know YouTube is not ideal but it will give you a idea about the sound.

not bad...a bit on the bright side though as expected
