To start with my setup is a Marantz 2230B receiver, a Pioneer PL-570 TT and Infinity SL 40 speakers. My old TT was a Pioneer PL-10. The PL-10 has a Shure M91ED cart installed. When I got the PL-570 it came with an unknown model AT cart. I went ahead and bought a new AT95E and replaced the unknown AT. I love the TT but the sound coming out of it was a little flat from what I was used to with the PL-10. So I switched the headshell from the PL-570 to the PL-10 and played it and I got the same sort of sound. Then I put the headshell with the Shure cart from the PL-10 onto the 570 and wham! There was so much more detail and a brighter sound than the AT cart. I could feel the punch in the music again. By the way the unknown AT cart that came with the TT had the same sort of flat sound. Which is why I bought the AT95E in the first place.
I am still learning about turntables and the pieces of stereo equipment. So can someone please explain to me what the difference is between these two carts?
Thanks
