Ortofon Spu Meister Silver G Mkii to install or not
I have sat here a new Ortofon Spu Meister Silver G Mkii,I normally buy all my hifi kit used but as decent Ortofon Spu's used rarely come up for sale I decided to buy new and am always wary of buying used cartridges
My dilemnia is that once I have opened I cannot return under the distance selling rules ...
I know my tonearm is right (SME M2-12R) in terms of compliance matching.
So am deciding do I go for it or not...I have read very positive reviews & feedback about the Spu but one or two negatives ie its too bright & thin sounding.Also will my Tron Seven Ultimate have enough gain though (68db ) I think so but can't be 100% sure till I try it ...
Finally I am not totally confident with fitting a cartridge though fitting a SPU seems straight forward and don't want to lug about a 35kg Slate Plnth to take it somewhere to have the spu fitted
My Cartridgeman Music Master/isolator does sound very good since I found the right voltage (220v) on my Loricraft PSU 80 despite a complete arm/compliance mismatch...but I have a SPU itch to scratch
So I have to decide to fit or not!
