Upgrading Cartridge - $1000 Soup'er Holiday Edition


I’m possibly upgrading my Nag MP-150 w/JPN-200 stylus. I really like it but feel like I want to experience something on a higher level.

$1k max budget

Technics SL-1200GR (w/fluid damper)

Sutherland Insight 20/20 phono stage

Listen to punk, metal, reggae, 80’s & 90’s alt, electronic/industrial, power noise, and a smattering of jazz.

Looking for a cart with great synergy with both the Technics arm and the Insight phono stage. Looking for a fast, clear sound with great bass.

 

hana?

DL-1033?

Art9?

Garrott (new)?

Why not the Nagaoka MP500? It's got everything you have already but better in every area.

@noromance  Thats sort of my unofficial go to cart for the reasons you stated. There's so many out there I wanted to maybe try a new flavor. 👍
