High output MC


as follow up to my previous post, if i need to send my Supex901 HOMC to Soundsmith, which will take a while, i need recommendations for substitute HOMC MC carteidge, "modest price", to fill in for a few months.

all tube gear, listen to classical, female vocals and some Springsteen. vocals are most important. I hate digital "edge", sibilants or fatigue.

pre owned from Audiogon would be great, to get more value.
thanks

Bob, you may want to clarify a little more what "modest price" means to you, as this phrase will mean different things to different people.

That said, I would recommend a Sumiko Blackbird as a modestly priced HOMC.
understood. modest can be up to 10K without a problem.
this is a 3 month use deal. modest here means up to 350.00?
or acceptable compared to the Supex sound.
hope this is doable with Ittok arm.
thanks
Why must it be a MC? Give a wood body Grado a try it just might surprise you! They are outstanding on female vocals.
If you really don't need a HOMC, try an Ortofon 2M Red. At $99, it's a killer little cart and since you're going to just be using it as an interim cartridge, you could spend the extra $250 you saved...on vinyl!
