Paul,
As you know I am also a believer in the hard tracing, and have likewise consistently rejected all MC cartridges due to the lack of realism and their inability to penetrate beyond the most superficial layers of audio splendor, though these they do well. I still use likewise a heavily weighted Well Tempered Arm, so it is some consolation that what I am doing is not totally without precedent.
I am glad to hear you are taking the time to sit down and enjoy the music. I should do that more often. I know what is wrong with the rest of my phono set up and have made the necessary purchases, but have just not had the time to set things up lately.
Interesting to hear about the Ortofon MC. Maybe I need to re-examine the Blue Mantis MC cartridge. I can't remember if you have ever heard the Decca cartridges in your system or not? I'd be interested to hear your comments.
