Help with Cartridge choice
Fellow audiophiles, my first time posting here and I will appreciate your help in choosing the right cartridge as part of my broader journey to put together an end game system. My upgrade path may not be very logical because it is opportunistic.
I use an old Pro-Ject Perspective turntable from early 2000s with the 9" aluminium arm (not the carbon one). I will make a significant upgrade in next couple of years but thats what i have for now.
I recently bought a Zesto Andros II phono stage to match my Zesto Leto 1.2 pre.
For now I am trying to upgrade from my Ortofon Bronze (MM) cartridge to something finer. Based on my research I am considering Hana ML ($1200). I have to stay below $1500. I have never used a MC or LOMC and not very analog savvy, and will appreciate any and all recommendations.
Thank you!

Since uncleang chimed in elsewhere that His 1958 Ford F100 can't live without them (jumper cables), I'll just ask what gauge shot gun do you have? |
Musical surroundings, the distributor for Hana, has an upgrade program. Inagree that requires ML is likely too much cartridge for your table. I'd suggest you try the Hana SL for $750. When its time to upgrade the table, you can also upgrade the cartridge through their upgrade program. You can experience the Hana MC sound for now to see if you really like it and then go up to the ML or Umami later. |
