Hi!
Would anyone be interested in a trade? My kids' new kitten decided to drag my tonearm across the platter and rip my stylus out! Anyway I have to replace the cartridge and I figured I'd try this before I ran out and bought a new one. No, I'm not looking for some top end cartridge, just something decent.
I'll trade a pair of these
and a pair of these
the tweets are new bulk and the mids are nice - but appear to have been mounted. The actual part # is W4-1052SA. No factory packaging on any.
Grados need not apply, I have a rega. Lemme know if it works for you!

Geez I know of no plans...
I would imagine there would be good support here on the mid - it's pretty popular and has a solid following. The tweet seems a good match too, slightly more sensitive. Both are '4 ohm' drivers and both don't affect my CRT screen. I'd use them but I'm into much bigger stuff right now....

he he, you hated it that much, huh?

I've 'run the gamut'!
I even removed the arm and used it as a wand. The hum is a result of proximity to the motor. Definitely radiated. Maybe the motor has an issue ... dunno?
The tt has a Linn Basik plus mounted.
The cartridge that I just 'broke' was a grado black. In terms of grado I won't go higher than the blue (pricewise and risk) and the blue is just a better black. I'd certainly like to try something else....

Same as mine... i'd be using one of my black grados (probably an F1+ if someone hadn't gifted me a Garrott P77 (swaps/trade/bribes have kept the table to $100 expenditure so far and i'd be able to recoup that if i could find the Jelso that was originally on it.
At some point i'm going to rebuild it to accomodate 2 arms (have a nice S-arm off a high faluting Technics TT) attachment is now (i do need to dust it)

It's actually not that bad of a cartridge, I bought it so I could test the turntables I've been rebuilding. It's been mounted 3 or 4 times and ran for a track or two then taken back off.
Before I sell a deck, I usually speak with the buyer about what cartridge they'd like mounted, and after I tell them how much a cartridge is going to cost them for their $100 deck...
well... they choose the grado black almost everytime (It's the cheapest cart that I'll let them choose)
wait: my father in law preferred the oyster over the black. so, that's one sold.
