What do you hope to accomplish with this move? Personally, I don't even think of going with MC for under $1k. If you don't quite like the Ortofon, you could try Rocksan or Nagaoka MM, but again I don't know your reasons for wishing to have a MC.
Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM
I'd like to dip my feet into the MC world. What would be a good introduction as I am going from an Ortofon 2M Black MM?
Here's my setup
Manley Chinook tube phono preamp
Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP integrated
PSB Imagine T2 loudspeakers
I'd like to stay south of $1k. I listen to all sorts of music, but on vinyl it would be in this order:
Jazz 50%
Rock 40%
Folk/Other 10%
I've never had a MC so I don't know where to start. Thanks all!!!

dlcockrum- take a look at this one... http://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART1000.html I believe it retails somewhere between 5-8K. Now that's ludicrous! Especially since the magnitude of improvement doesn't justify 5X cost of the ART 9!!! Likely it does sound heavenly though. Sure wish I had the means for a system to handle such extravagance. |
