anybody ever heard of a Pickering 1100S?
hi all,
i bought a Pickering 1100S from an online acquaintance who previously sold me my ADC XLM MKIII . it's been used, but comes complete with the box and all the toys (magnifying glass, specs, screwdriver, etc.)
the stylus is a D-II-S stereohedron.
anybody every heard of it? seems like a bit of an odd-ball cartridge.
i don't have it yet, but will report back once it's mounted on my spare headshell.
i've been getting into vintage MI and MM cartridges lately. i still have a Spectral MCR Signature LOMC. but it's such a ***** to drive. and the arm on my modded Technics SL-1600MK2 is just not a great match for it.
for reference, i will be using the phono stage in my Classe DR-4.
i'd love to try a shure V15VMR, but they are so expensive these days. hoping the 1100S can maybe compete with it.
see ya,
Robby
