@chakster: I too wonder why the push against certain types of cartridges. Not all of us have an unlimited amount of funds so we get the best we can with what we have.
Have a U-Turn turntable with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Upgrade cartridge or turntable???
I have a basic U-Turn Orbit turntable with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge that was included. The Ortofon cartridge is good but is sounding worn; and, therefore am considering a Denon 110 high output MC cartridge which will work with this table. . The table sounds good, but at high volume, I can hear a old level hum, and build quality is just OK. I am thinking of upgrading to a Music Hall's "Classic" turntable with its "Spirit" cartridge at $599.00 ( which is their in house spike I never seen reviews about this table and cartridge combo ) This is just my initial consideration and far from final;, but, I will gladly consider any recommendations in the same price range in the $500-$600 price range.
Thank you, and stay healthy and stay home
S.J.
