I have been using 3 / 4 weeks to digitize my old vinyl. I bought a USB turntable SCOTT 60 with the original cell not terrible, I think audiotechnica. I put my old Panasonic cell ESP 270 C recovered from my old Technics slbd2 that no longer works and the sound was not too bad, so I wanted tried to get better with this Ortofon ... Well I am sorry because the sound is not worth that obtained with my Panasonic. I think trying another cell can be a shure. I would see. But I do not recommend this Ortofon Arkiv, the sound is somewhat distorted in the treble.
