Fine looking system. Reminds me of me. I had some RS 1Bs. In the mid eighties. I loved them. I had to downsize and went to some Avalons, which were also great speakers, but I missed the big sound. Recently I moved up to NOLA Baby Grands which gives me some of the old Infinity bigness.
My question regards your front end, the Titan Cartridge and SME arm. I also have a Cosmos with vacuum and an SME V. I am using a recently re tipped Jeff Rowland Complement cartridge originally made by Ikeda for Rowland. I have had it since the 90's. Still sounds great and I enjoy it, though I'm wondering if a jump in cartridges would make a big difference.
The price of top cartridges intimidates me, but I'm wondering...
My associated electronics are Audio Research- Ref. 150 amp, Ref. 3 preamp and Ref 2 phono pre.
Can you provide any thoughts or advice with this in mind?
Last question- was Hovland Music Grove 2 phono cable for the SME a significant improvement, or should my focus be on my cartridge now?
Thank you
