I have been looking at the Nagaoka 150, Shure M97Xe and Goldring
Its now more about taking the plunge than anything else.

A Love and Hate relationship - Ortofon
So as you might be aware I am slowly going through the upgrade process on my TT.
As everyone else does I have been looking at upgrading the Cart/Stylus due to the nature of my Ortofon OM cart and Thakker 10 stylus.
Playing my normal array of music, 70's stuff and then I moved onto some of my other collection (Drum and Bass) 90's and 00's era. The thing sounds so different, more open and just a lot better. This could that its still running in, done about 10 odd hours now, but not sure if this is something that is part of this whole process with vinyl?
Thanks

@bur70n There is one great manufacturer of the modern MM cartridges with a long history. Nobody mention this, but i will tell you: Garrott Brothers in Australia, look for P77i model, the price on their site is in AUD, so will be much cheaper in USD. This is a legendary manufacturer! I love the old P77 Dynamic Coil MM in my system, the P77i in improved version. And don't forget about amazing vintage cartridges, such as Grace F9 and F14, Grace LEVEL II, Audio-Technica AT-ML150 - ATML170 - AT-ML180, Victor X1 and X-1II ... In my opinion those cartridges are the best and much better than ANY modern MM cartridges of any price (including very expensive MC carts). |
