[QUOTE="Tenflare, post: 823338, member: 20064"] Sitrep: After hearing some records using the SLB2 and the Phono Box E, it sounds pretty good (really love the Phone Box btw). However, there's a bit of distortion on the left channel leading me to believe that either the cartridge or the stylus needs replacing. Indeed, I examined the stylus to find that it is bent a bit. I can of course replace the stylus but I'm thinking it'll be a lot easier to retain the headshell and just replace the cartridge. I've narrowed down my selection to 2 choices although I'm open to others. They are: AT A95E Ortofon OM3E I'm leaning toward the Ortofon as reviews say the signature is warmer. [/QUOTE]
