I’ve seen I’ve seen a few recommendations for the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze on the 1200g
I have this exact combo and it's a really great match, the Bronze is still breaking in but I have zero complaints on the sound quality.
Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G?
Hey, you can use nearly ALL moving magnet and moving iron cartridges on this Technics tonearm, what’s the problem, will you ask for every cartridge ? Don’t use low compliance MC and do not use extremely high compliance MM/MI. Medium or Medium High compliance is what you need. Technics stock shell is light weight, with lower compliance you need a headshell of higher mass and probably Technics subweight for the other side of the arm. Read this and make sure you know your cartridge compliance at 10Hz, not at 100Hz, to make the calculation. Mid compliance MC can be good too. For such expensive turntable you might need something special, not those Nagaoka cartridges, but something much better! |
