Spend a little more and get an Ortofon 2M Black. Well worth the money and the best MM cartridge by many estimations.
MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side
Hello,
I will be getting a Parasound Hint 6 integrated which has an MM phono stage.Speakers will be either ATC SCM 40 or JBL 4312G
Most of my music is on the heavier side, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc. I do listen to a good amount of Jazz and a wee bit of classical.
TT : modified Technics 1200 wtih cardas wiring,silicon damper trough and external power supply.
Budget for MM cartride is about $400
The characteristics i enjoy are tight slamming bass, rimshots that can kill and crunchy guitars. Projecting tight drum sound and full rounded bass guitar are important.
I am not seeking lush airy vocals etc. I want solid sound, I want the music to punch me in the gut. I want to feel the music.
Please float suggestions.
thanks

A friend of mine is the same persuasion and swears by the Goldring 1042. Personally I don’t touch the hard stuff, but I own a 1042 too and can attest to its virtues when playing other genres. I’d also choose it over the 2M Black, but that could just be me. |
