. . . Does it Improve Sonics?
The manufacturer sent over a stock standard Denon 103 and one of his "Aluminum Body Caps", which is shown placed over the cartridge in the photo at the top of this story. Below is what the "standard" 103 looks like:
The two Denon files are identified as "File 1" and "File 2". The big rig's is identified. In a real blind test the third option would be that the two Denon files might be the same file twice. I didn't do that here. You can listen to both Denon files and decide if one sounds better than the other. Please write your comment under the story.
My conclusion is that $85 produced a significant sonic improvement. However, I think the cult over this cartridge is ridiculous. BUT DON'T LET ME STOP YOU FROM BEING IN THE CULT OR JOINING THE CULT!
File "1"
File "2"
"Big Rig"
