Dynamic and warm Best in turntable cartridge

Mounted on the Pro-Ject X1, sounds very dynamic and warm, not shrill or muddy. I would say the soundstage is direct. The bass isn't over the top, but it's not the tightest either, maybe my amp. Overall it sounds cool. Clean.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

The best of a very good range of carts

After being impressed by the $150 Sumiko Rainier I decided to roll the dice and give Amethyst a try. I was hoping for that. , detailed moving magnet pickup that never squeaks or scratches. It also has a great body, very well developed mids and lows. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

Personal Review by Sumiko Amethyst - Installation: The most important thing you need to know about Amethyst is its VTA. You have to set your arm at 20 degrees or you will be very confused as to why the sound is so bassy. Sound characteristics:1. Excellent noise level. Irritation from scratching is minimized.2. Outstanding soundstage. Instruments, musicians and singers claim their places and keep them. The swirls and "lily gilding" effects added by the sound engineers are evident.3. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
