Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200

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.

Well Chakster, looks like you got "out opinioned."

Advantage>NAGAOKA!

Well Chakster, looks like you got "out opinioned."

Hey - not so fast - I had a Nagoka about 25 years ago and I was NEVER completely satisfied with it - I don't recall which model - sorry

Even though Nagoka seems to be a popular recommendation on this forum, I think there are better choices out there for the same/similar $$$

I've since switched to an MC cart with a ruby cantilever and OC contact Line stylus courtesy of Soundsmith, which I love

But if I were to move back to MM it would probably be an AT
- Nagoka are just not well suited to my ears

Sorry - Just another opinion - Steve

Steve, 
Perfectly fine you have your own opinion. We all hear differently. Can be very system dependant too.

From my own experience, I owned  Soundsmith Boheme, $1k cart. The Nagaoka MP-200 I bought for $385 simply sounded way better than the Soundsmith. Also watched  YouTube video where a fellow who owned a small highend shop with many turntables at various price points did a controled, level matched comparison with Nagaoka against cartridges from Ortophon, Denon, Hana, and others which were higher priced than the Nagaoka's and each time he claimed the Nagaoka's as better. He used MP-110, MP-150, and MP-200.

Yes, you can claim it all subjective, but this fellow did his own research just as I did with my own comparison.
