I used to own a technics SP-10 turntable on which I had a TK7E, and it sounded fine... until I bought an AKG P25MD, which sounded much more musical and was definitely more accurate... until I bought my current Oracle turntable, on which I have an SME III arm with (you guessed it) a Shure V15 type V. Before investing on this system, I listened very closely to many table/tonearm/cartridge combinations, including Linn Sondek with high-priced Dynavector MC cartridges, etc. I chose the Oracle/Shure/SME because it is THE best, no matter what the price. The rest of my gear: KEF 105.2 speakers, Threshold Stasis 3 amp, Thaedra preamp, and Studer B67 tape machine. I use Litz wire and 800-strand high-current speaker cable. All connectors are gold. And the music is fine, thank you. Richard Blouin, ...!philabs!micomvax!softech
