Conclusion :
There was a brief time when I had both Aidas cartridges in house, so I decided to do a quick comparison. I kept in mind that while the Black Sound-Red Heart was good and broken in, the Mammoth Gold was new. I also had to consider that the new cartridge was far more expensive.
With those caveats, what I found was that both cartridges were well-built, excellent trackers that render music wonderfully. The main difference is that the Mammoth Gold, with its unique body material and refined design and use of higher quality materials, simply allows it to deliver a little bit more of… well, everything. More musical detail, a sharper rendering of instruments and a decidedly more spacious and realistic soundstage. But this is not to say that the level of performance of the less expensive cartridge was not satisfying, it is. In fact, I was very close to purchasing that cartridge because of its performance… and the fact that I could afford it. Who knows, I still might. It’s that good. But back to my Gold Coast analogy. Right now, I’m probably more of a Wrigleyville kind of guy, but if I could afford the Mammoth Gold, I would be moving into that neighborhood. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
