Goldring 1042 has more energy than the Nagaoka. I'd go for that. I wouldn't spend much more though. Upgrade table instead.
Cartridge Upgrade - Nagaoka or Goldring
Current set up:
Rega P2, Goldring E3, Rogue RP-1(built in phono), Rogue ST100, Martin Logan Montis.
I love the sound I get now, but looking to step up from the E3. Has anyone compared the Goldring E3 to 1042 and/or Nagaoka MP200? How about Goldring Eroica?
Would the Nagaoka work on the P2?Would a difference be significant with any of these cartridges over the E3 using a built in phono in my Rogue preamp?
I listen to all kinds of music...from classical to heavy metal.
Thanks in advance!

Do yourself a favor and buy Pickering XSV3000 or XSV3000SP, both have Stereohedron stylus tip, nude diamond. Both cartridges are about $350-400 in MINT and nothing can beat them at this price. This model of Pickaring is equal to Stanton 881s It is interesting that "SP" version of Pickering has lower compliance (15cu for SP version versus 30cu for standard version). Excellent cartridges with Samarium Cobalt magnets! These are the best trackers for any type of music. and Dustamatic brush is another feature patented by Stanton/Pickering They will bring you to the heart of music for sure, and the cost is more than reasonable. For higher price you can get even better Pickering models like XSV4000, highly recommended! |
