    I've been having a good read about the Cadenza Black and I am now very jealous Jamie. If you come over here with the Rock make sure you check the cartridge before you leave, just in case it vanishes hahaha.

    well i had a day of setting it up and a long listening session.
    im very happy with this cartridge,its very neutral,robbie what you said, "dont expect a cart that throws in your face ballsy excitement at you - it doesn't impose itself" is right on the money. in fact coming from a decca it was most alarming at first,paranoia was telling me something is wrong here!
    this was swept away with the increased detail the black was serving up,its a feast for the ears lol,
    with only 20hrs on it hopefully there is more to come!



    the decca is a fantastic sounding cartridge,it has drive and punch,the black is a calmer beast with grace and elegance,to use a boxing analogy you could say the decca is mike tyson,the black is muhammad ali



    to my ears whats special about the black is it just disappears and lets you enjoy the music,with most of the cartridges ive owned there was always some weakness that showed up,not with this one although it has got me thinking about SUT so just as one money pit has been filled in......

    Lovely looking thing. I bet it's a beautiful listen.

    SUT? I'd go head amp every time mate. SUTs don't bring the expanse that Headamps do imo. Still, I haven't had "that" much exposure to either but that was how I felt.

    Personally, Id look at the amplification end next. Having swapped out my Sony to the Monoblocks, I'd never go back. There was a matching Nakamichi pass amp on eBay recently. Thatd be great with your preamp.

    You haven't heard my SUT matey!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Pure unobtainium. An Osawa OS-100T. You'd never find one. It's as good as any other SUT I've tried. It matched the highly prized silver wound Luxman AD8000/8020 I had.
