Re: Someone recommend me a high-compliance cartridge?

I owned and played a DL-301II for a number of years and it is a good cartridge. More recently, I auditioned the AT33PTG in my present system for a month and it also sounded very nice. I could be happy with either one.

Some differences:

The DL-301II has an elliptical stylus on a hollow aluminum cantilever. The AT33PTG has a very tiny micro-line stylus on a thin solid gold-plated boron cantilever. Both have about the same compliance, and both weigh about the same. Here are the specs:

I have no direct experience with the AT-150MLX but it has the same stylus and cantilever as the AT33PTG.

Good luck,
