Title: Detail beyond belief
Review: Amazing cart, previously ran an Ortofon OM 20 cart and OM 10 stylus and the difference is night and day.The second I heard this running I thought, wow, as the increase in detail was a huge surprise, the 440 wasn't just a little better, but a major leap forward. Some people talk about 'lifting the veil' when changes like this are made, to me this sounded more like 'lifting a horse blanket' !My only criticism would be it is very bright and this took some adjustment to get used to, but than what is bright?Does Vinyl sound warm because the set up may lack detail? Does adding detail in spades make it sound bright? If that's the case, adding in everything that the artist produced, bright really means accurate. The 440 sure is accurate than because there is detail by the truck load. I've rated it 4 stars because on some LPs it does sound to bright, but that may be the result of poor mastering and not the 440s fault.4 PLUS.
