For what it is worth Soundsmith rebuilt one of my Stanton OEM stylus with a Ruby cantilever and a nude contact line diamond that I use on a 981 HZS, I am very pleased with the results and have no plans on going back to a MC.
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
I probably sound like a broken record (no pun intended) but I still haven’t pulled the trigger on the Hana MC cartridge. I have been considering a moving magnet cartridge instead and have been researching. I haven’t found many reviews of the better ones online except for users comments.
I have been looking at the Audio Technica cartridges, Goldring and Ortofon. I really wish I could find a Shure V15 or equivalent. To the users of moving magnet cartridges, can you help me out or steer me in the right direction?

@billstevenson …well maybe but my Kuzma and Dynavector Diamond get regular use……. and at the end of the day…. extract more music…. for a $ |
OP, since you devoted a fair amount of space to describing the behavior of 1 nasty member, I think that you should finish the deal and name him. He will probably be upset but it would be of benefit to others here, and what the heck the two of you don’t have a relationship worth endangering at this juncture. Analog is a secondary source for me, but after I busted the stylus off of a MC that became a $500 XMass ornament I’ve stuck with MM carts that are easier to replace. Luckily I haven’t had to. My priority is the midrange, where most of my music lives, and imho MMs can do quite well there |
@mahler123 i am guessing the pushy sales dude got himself banned…. |
