Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200

Take a look at this comparison of 11 different MM cartridges (including the MP-200 and the MP-150).

Their conclusion is that the MP-200 is worth the additional cost (although it's more expensive now than when the review was conducted).  About the MP-150, they say, "There is nothing wrong with this cartridge , but its pricing and market position make it hard to recommend. As the tagline says, it is similar to the MP-200 but you get less of everything, and it lacks the MP-200’s sweetness and magic."

Sounds like the MP-200 would be a good purchase if you like the MP-150.

Scott,   thanks for the link.  Just trying to figure where I'll get the most improvement for the next $ I spend, since my budget is currently limited.  Under consideration are the MP-200 stylus or upgraded NOS preamp tubes.  :)

Go for MP 200 vs tubes.

agree, better stylus !

Previously I had a Signet TK5e for many years, which I was happy with.

You should ask @nandric , he’s got Signet TK-5E and better models, I’m sure you could buy NOS. Signet are better than Nagaoka in my opinion.
