Best cartridge under $1500.


  • Current turntable: Yamaha GT2000.
  • Current cartridge: Ortofon Quintet Red.
  • Music likes: Rock, Jazz, Electronic, classical.
  • Desired sound: bold and tighter bass, rich midrange, crisp highs.
Need help Agoners...have been torn between buying Dynavector 17D3, Ortofon Quintet Black, Sumiko Blackbird. Any other better alternatives? 
Thanks!

Dear chakster, Remember my Glanz? I also own the JVC MC1

but the silicium plate with etched coils (near the stylus ) touches

the magnet gape on one side. Axel was, alas, not able to fix

the problem. If you can find someone who can you can get the

cart for free.

@chakster , The JVC MC1 box looks identical to X-1,mk2.

I will need your address to post ''the exotic one'' but expect

you to pay the postage (grin).
