Had one of those back in the noughties. Very nice cartridge indeed.
Oddly enough I had a VPI Scout at the time using their unipivot tonearm.
Certainly quality Oli, it was after hearing yours I thought I needed to try one in my system.
Yes Brian, I am enjoying it very much. Think what you heard but even more transparent, natural and open. Nearly bought Helen and myself to tears this morning on one track.
I need a bigger session before I can put my thoughts down but I feel it is probably the best cartridge I have heard in my system. I will write up a full review later.
Well I thought that your system sounded sublime when I last visited with the 2M Black in situ . Lord knows how it sounds now James .

Great stuf James, you know I'm a big fan of Ortofon cartridges.
The Kontrapunkt B has always had a great reputation.
I heard one in my sytem a while back when Angus first brough my Sansui AU-919 down - I remember it sounded really good and very refined
