My favourite cartridge has been the Garrott P77 for years,and more so since I got the Jico SAS a while ago,which made a huge difference to the sound.Still haven't tried out the neos SAS I bought this year.
Bought a Garrott K2 cartridge off TMe this week,arived today.It's the P77's smaller brother/sister!
Actually there are 3 versions K1,K2 and K3,with improvements in the stylus fitted to each.Same body as the P77.But not sure that it's the same inside.
Fitted it to my SME3 today with an original stylus.Very musical but with muddy bass.Fitted the original stylus from my A&R P77 and quite an improvement.
Then fitted my P77 SAS stylus to the K2.It's very hard to hear the difference between the P77 and the K2 now.The P77 may have a tiny bit more lower bass,but it's close.More listening to be done but it sounds great anyhow.
Well,back to work.Just thought some one might be interested!
