MM Cartridge
I have a new VPI Prime Scout table with the JMW 9 tonearm
I'm using. Sumiko Pearl cartridge and sounds amazing.
I want to upgrade to the best MM. My preamp has a 3.1 mv, so I would like your opinion.
Audio Technica VM760SLC or Ortofon 2M Black, or other high output cartridge. I do not want a MC, want user replaceable stylus?

There are two critical parameters of the most important components in analog chain: -tonearm mass -cartridge compliance If you know tonearm mass you have to choose a cartridge compliance accordingly. *you can read here P.S. Dynamic compliance must be stated at 10Hz in cu If it was stated at 100Hz (for Japanese carts) simply multiply on 1.7 to convert to 10Hz before you will make any calculations |
For new cartridges (in addition to what you have already mentioned), the upper end clearaudio MM's are also very good. If you're not afraid of purchasing used... Grado Signature series Empire 4000 DIII Empire 2000 Z If you have a month or so... Check out the HUGE MM thread Raul started here. There are a lot of old MM/MI carts that are really good. |
