Trying it out, I was pleased to find that the games were indeed engaging and the site's commitment to player security made me feel safe while indulging in my favorite pastime. This platform has quickly become my go-to for reliable and exciting online gaming.

Neutral sounding , decent tracker ,

Neutral sounding ? What ever that means ? Knowing beforehand what a good sounding low output Moving Coil can do I wanted one for my new system . Had bought a second hand Audible Illusion with its optional John Curl Gold phono stage I knew I could not skimp on the cartridge . But I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg knowing that the good ones were very expensive . The obvious choice would be a high output moving coil as they.were less expensive but the added mass of larger and heavier coils always has an impact on the sound . Along came one day my friend which had bought a Ortofon Salsa but could not get it to sound to his liking in his setup . Having heard once a Ortofon MC low output , MC-10 I think it was I bought his Salsa with about 50 hours on it for 50.00 dollars ( cost him 375.00 ) . Hey , he offered the price so I went for it . First , no low mass arms need apply , it could work but tracking will be compromise . At the very least a medium mass arm is required as a project tonearm or better yet a Rega . The profile of the stylus is line contact , known as Shibata in some circles . The point of contact in the record groove is a very thin line , not a dot , a line . That means that the orientation of the stylus in the groove has to be perfect . So setup is all . If not you will hear it as higher then normal distortion as all styluses , except those from linear tracking arms has distortion , only difference being when correctly set upped distortion is minimal and not audible . Vtf is very good with this cartridge , just get the tonearm parallel with the platter and you nail it . That means that quality control was spot on when put together at Ortofon . You don't have to tweek much this cartridge , as long as you set it up by the books you will be ok . A testament to Ortofon as many good sounding cartridges need a little hear or more negative VTF or whatever to get it to sound correctly because of poor aligning . How does it sound ? What we have hear is a 375.00 cartridge that tries to give you the performance of top tier cartridges without really getting there . It gives you a highlly balance performance with any part of the spectrum jumping out at you . But what it does give you is very rewarding for the price as it punches way out of its price range . The fact that it is so balance helps in getting you into the music easily . It doesn't prefer one type of music over the other as it gives you the meat of the performance but if you rather go

-This Ortofon Salsa mc cartridge is my second low output moving coil cartridge, after years of many moving coil cartridges.
-It is also my first other than elliptical stylus, a line contact type.
-For the last 2 years I have been enjoying a Denon DL 301 Mk ii teamed up with a pair of Shure step up transformers ($ 50.00/pair on ebay). This cartridge (the Denon) really delivers the goods, especially on a well recorded LP. I did not know how good the bass could be on an LP, and again the Denon delivers.
-Last month I got a chance to by a low hours Ortofon Salsa (20 hours-claimed). When received, a microscope view of its stylus confirmed that this was a low hours cartridge. The square shanked line contact stylus is just beautiful.
-After mounting the Salsa into my beloved VPI Traveler version 1, I gave the Salsa about 5 full LP albums before taking a serious listen to her.
-This Ortofon Salsa is really a nice sounding cartridge, and is definitely a step up from the Denon DL 301/ii.
-Most noticed were the cymbals. The line contact stylus on the Salsa is just wonderful, forward, and real sounding in this area.
-At first I thought the Salsa was just a little more polite sounding than the DL301/ii, but is is just more accurate, and musical. It is a better listening cartridge on my lesser quality albums, making them enjoyable, where as the Denon made them more so show to be almost unlistenable.
-Am very happy with the Ortofon Salsa, and for its price give it 5 stars.
-Equipment Marantz 7c and 8b into a pair of 1980 Klipsch LaScalas (alnico).
-Also, the Ortofon Salsa shows how really good the Shure step up transformers are.
-The Salsa is now a discontinued cartridge, and I feel lucky to have found one with low hours.
-If you see one for sale, buy it!!!!!!
-Thanks for reading, Bruce
