I have a Pioneer PL-12d turntable, and want a cartridge that does well w/classical. I was told years ago that B&O was the best for classical, but I can't pay that much anymore. Thanks for any advice! -- chip j Shure makes several cartridges that are as good as, or better than your turntable for reasonable prices. This is not to suggest that you have a bad TT, but to suggest that concept of diminishing returns applies. B&O makes all sorts of eyewash, not very much otherwise. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

=20 What exactly does "eyewash" mean? First of all, B & O stopped making cartridges a long time ago. But when they did make them, they were considered very good, contrary to what you might think.

Yes, their car= tridges were considered "very good", but any company that limits its users = to proprietary parts (as if a car maker were to require a buyer to use only= *their* tires, *their* oil and so forth) is simply wrong. That is a matter= of opinion, of course. But that level of decision-making has obsoleted tho= usands of B&) TTs if the owner does not wish to invest in a Soundsmith cart= ridge. The cost of that part will exceed the value of the TT by a large mar= gin. But, for a definiton of eyewash: insert "nonsense" and you would be close. = Soothing to the eyes, not a lot of substance. |
