I have always liked the Goldring 1042 and feel that it is competitive with the Ortofon 2M Black. The Bronze is more forward in the midrange and is a good choice too, but both the 1042 and Black are more balanced, neutral. Frankly all three are solid choices. I bought a Black and also the mono 2M SE, which is the same cartridge wired for mono. If stereo was all I cared about, I would have saved some money and gone with the 1042.
Thoughts on a cartridge
Hey Everyone
I have a RP3 on the way and I purchased it without a cartridge and am wondering if anyone has experience with a Goldring 1042 or possibly a ortofon bronze. It’s probably splitting hairs however who would argue with a little more detail and clarity especially w vocals. Thanks for the feedback as based on your experience
