Greetings, good people!
As the topic itself says, which of them is the most comprehensive cartridge for transferring music from a favourite vinyl record to PC in .wav format and then "burning" it all in form of an Audio-CD?
Comparing their specifications (more on www.ortofon.com), they all have a "Special Elliptical" stylus type (r/R 13/25 µm), recommended tracking force 3.0 grams and a frequency response 20-20.000 Hz. Only the output voltage varies from 6 mV (Arkiv & Gold) to 8 mV (Nightclub).
I know, I know, why don't I find something better...
Well, in the country where I live, it's simply impossible to order something on import, 'cause there's no guarantee it will arrive at all, not to mention damage or having your money back in case of dissatisfaction...
To be honest, my biggest wish is a Stanton 681 EEE Mk III cartridge with its glamorous D6800 EEE Mk III Stereohedron Stylus, but the best I can do is choose from those three above which are available here.
Maybe, come better times, I might have a chance to find the 681, but until then, the Concorde has to do the job.
So, let's sum it up - what are your personal opinions according the three cartridges in question?
Eagerly awaiting your answers...
