    Default New toy

    Hi all,

    Thanks to Angus (Phonomac) for the loan of this badboy!

    Anyone have any experience with the Kontrapunt B?

    A friend of mine had one on a SME V / Gyrodec and it sounded very good indeed.

    It's an odd shape. Seems to be leaning back!

    Sounds very good though! Very good.

    Had the Rohman which I think was the next one in the series. Excellent cart, still beats lots today. A keeper.

    It's very good. I've not heard anything other than the Vienna and the AT ART-7 that comes close.

    I have two Kontrapunkt Bs - one that has been re-tipped too many times, and a much nicer NOS example bought from Thakker a couple of years ago. Very nice cartridges indeed. Set VTF to the maximum recommended 2.7g, raise the arm height so that it's slightly higher at the pivot (eg 'tail up'), and you won't go wrong.

    Thanks for the setup pointers, I'll give that a try.

    NOS? I didn't think any of those remained!

    I have one and loved it. It was my main cartridge for years, right up to the point when the diamond fell off! I have moved on from it, but I still have it and must get round to having it re-tipped.
