I'm using a Sumiko Blackbird. Overall, I like it very much because it tracks so well and it has plenty of speed and detail. I feel that its main weakness is a lack of weight and body in the bass and mid bass. The notes are all there, but they don't have enough meat on the bone, if that makes any sense. I would give up a tiny bit of detail for a little more reality. I'm thinking MM might be the way to go, but I don't really know for sure.

One more week and my Reflex will be mostlyburned in. Then I will focus more on the cartridge.....

I think it was Tom Petty who said, "Yeah the waiting is the hardest part".
I've read other reports about the Blackbird saying just that . . . I think a good MM would give you the extra meat!

Meanwhile enjoy the Reflex! Wink

Thanks for that Keith. I suspect we're similar ages! I'm still playing my original 1964 Hard Days Night!

In order not to hi-jack your EGV thread I've started another one here for cartridge recommendations . . .
