I have been using AR XA as my living room TT with ADC ZLM cart and its JICO stylus. Our (mine and my wife's) favourable genre are Old Bollywood films, Ghazals (primarily Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali & Jagjit Chitra) and Hindustani classical music. This cart is doing pretty well. Two days back I got a very good condition Lenco GL75 and put a new Shure M 44-7 on it. I was listening to Jagjit Chitra's ("Unforgettable). At that time, my wife came home and shouted at me that what have I done to the music system? She felt (me too) that the music was too shrill. I told her that it is different TT and Cart but she told me to go back to the AR XA, I did and the soothing music was back. Now I can safely say that the difference could be due to the cart. The problem is that ADC ZLM is an expensive cart, can our dear FMs suggest what cart should I use for my genre of music? The other carts that I have are - Shure M97XE, Shure V15III, Stanton 681 EEE, Denon DL103 and Nagaoka MP110. Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance!
