Nice.
Appears you can update your signature, as no longer "on the way".

Just rolled in the AT33Reference. A very nice cartridge that has the signature AT 'house sound'. Quite detailed.

Anyone else using a DS Audio cartridge system? I have the entry level DS E1 and LOVE it.

Are you satisfied with your Fuuga? I never hear this cartridge, but there are so many new brands popping up. Its body looks nicely and precisely made. I would use boron cantilever, but that's my preference.
I am curious about your opinion on this Fuuga.
Thanks!

Never heard and owned it, but I would love to listen to it once.
I had many different cartridges ranging from Kondo I-O to ZYX, Clearaudio and Koetsu. All of them sound nice and at the same time very different.
The cartridge has to match the musical taste of the owner and certainly the system it is used in.
This DS Audio is very interesting, not a new invention, but very nicely made.
I'd love to listen to it once.

Here is my Kenwood KD-650 with DS Audio entry level DS E1 cartridge and transformer. I recommend that anyone looking for a new cartridge and phono preamp please give this a listen.

Finally updated the cartridge on my MT10 and couldn’t be happier. Hana Umami Red. Sounds incredible, having a blast re-discovering my vinyl collection. My stock cart was long in the tooth and am so glad i finally made a decision and got off the sidelines. Expertly installed and table dialed in by a good friend (whohappens to also review gear for Fremer’s trackingangle website). This cartridge has taken my MT10 to a level i didn’t know was possible. Simply incredible sounding.
