Looking for a little help.
I have a chance to get either one of these cartridges for dealer cost due to being a low output cartridge. I spoke to John over at Grado and as per his recommendation, 56db gain at 47k is the preferred range and I can use a SUT to help make up that gain. Besides the obvious on pricing, how much better is the Reference over the Sonata? Is it going to come down to basically tracking, or is there going to be a very pronounced noticeable difference. To make things even more difficult, I can also get a Statement Master high output for dealer cost.
I have someone making me SUT with a 1:6 ratio and Partridge transformers if I give them the go ahead.
The cartridge is most likely going to be used on my XA table.
