I recently got a Nagaoka MP110 for my Sl1200mk2 (I have about ten cartridges for this tt) and the Ortofon standard SH-4 headshell and it is an excellent tracker and well balanced across the board. Lots of detail and depth but with punch and bass; my AT are wonderful but a bit light in the bass at times. My Prestige grades are great in the bass but a bit rolled off on the top end. The Nagaoka is just right. And I paid about $129 for it and I think the Ortofon SH4 is $35 on amazon. Great combo, just be sure you align it optimally and it will sing sing sing.
Could someone suggest a decent audiophile cartrige for a Technics dj TT?
It was given to me and want to set it up to listen to music. It's a technics SL-1200 MD3. Seems like a well built table. It has a Ortofon Pro S Concorde on it now. Sounds ok but I'm not a scratcher.
Need a headshell too. would like to keep it under 400.00.Thanks, Jim

@addyson815 You can use hi-fi test record to measure the actual resonance frequency of your tonearm and cartridge. When you are using low compliance cartridge on lightweight tonearm the resonance frequency is way out of the desirable range. Simply read here. Not sure if you ever tried your Denon 103 on a proper high mass arm, maybe you can explain why you prefer lightweight or mid mass tonearms for a cartridge with compliance as low as 5cu @ 100Hz? |
