Title: Monster Cable Alpha 2 mc cartridge
Post by: non-prophet on March 02, 2013, 12:03:59 PM

Here it is, I have been looking for a mc phono cartridge for a long time.  It has a Monster label on it but its made by zyx and it just got retipped by soundsmith with their second best service.  So, it should sound great.  If you know me, I will not be able to hear this for maybe years, but hopefully months.  I bought this for my Sota turntable which needs me install an Eminent technology ET-2 tonearm which needs me to find a blank Sota armboard and convert a Wisa air pump from 220 t0 110, and if thats not enough...  I would like to use all this with my Melos tube preamp which Tom is working on and Melos Phono amp that needs a power cable made for it.  So, this will look great on my shelf for now.

I am very interested in Soundsmith cartridges.  I have nothing but good things about them.  Good luck getting the system together Nick.
