New cartridge


Looking into upgrading my phono cartridge. Sumiko blue point #2. I have a pro-ject 2 Xperience turntable with a pro-ject phono Box ES phono amp. Emotiva XMC pre amp with a parasound 2125 v2 power amp and AV123 Strata Mini speakers with a SVS SB 300 sub.

looking at the Nagaoka MP-200, sumiko blue point#3, also might be able to get a slightly used soundsmith Otello from a friend.

 The 2M black or the AT VM760SLC are both excellent high output cartridges for the money. I think they are both better than the Denon. Message me and I'll tell you about something interesting!

If you are stretching for a 2M Black what about a SoundSmith Carmen? A little more than the Black, but only $200 for the rebuild. I think you may be able to order it as high output. The Otello may be a medium output cartridge.
