How Happy Am I Gonna Be??

Just got done dialing in the gold-finger v.2-d by clear audio. I do not have the Aesthetic Io yet. Not impressed so far by the 10,000 cartridge over the Sumiko Celebration. Breaking it in at 47k. I sure hope it gets better.

I wouldn't worry until you have at least 60 hours or more. Have you tried 1k?

And you won't be.

That is probably the most overpriced cartridge on the market.

Bill, why? do you carry it? (;
Radrog, what do you mean by "best"?

In the end you'll probably be happy, but I suspect there will be a slew of posts asking for suggestions about why it doesn't sound quite as impressive as you thought it would. IMO going beyond what you already have results in very minor improvements. Some audiophiles describe these sonic changes as absolutely essential to their enjoyment of reproduced music and others don't.
