Well I was sad to see the AT33PTG/II go , it was only on loan, but what a cracker it is. If it suits your set up and you have £400 ish to spend, look no further. It will be my next cartridge purchase for sure (No pun intended).
That's a shame Ken. I was going to ask what gain did you end up setting on your Aqvox for the AT33?
Cheers, Jeff
What do you think about that Sommer Goblin Wire Ken ?

Hi Alan
I like it, very flexible and with a good screen, tonally richer/warmer than the Silver I had been using, plenty of detail evident and nice bass weight. It's cheap as chips and I prefer it to the much more expensive Silver, which has a great top end, but not as natural in the mids. Its fairly low capacitance.
The Sommer is only 4.6mm dia so you can squeeze two cables into one 5 pin DIN Tone arm plug. I prefer two separate cables/screens for left/right channels rather than star quad with 4 conductors under one screen. Less chance of cross talk.
Got mine from Studio Spares, they had it listed under Broadcast quality miniature Mic/patch cable, but it has " Goblin Highflex TT-Phone Cable" printed on the jacket.
I also use the Sommer 110 ohm AES/EBU digital XLR cable, which is very good as well.
Cheers
