I need Hign compliance cartridges


Hi, could you tell me

some not very expensive high compliance cartridges (under 1000-1500 usd) MM and MC.  that suit for heavy tonearms. If you know exact figures please indicate them.

I know only that denon 103 is a high compliance mc cartridge.

 

Thank you very much

Phasemation cartridges are all 8 or 8.5, depending on the model. They're big in Japan but not so well-known here in the US. I owned the entry-level P-3G around 20 years ago, when the company was known as Phase Tech. It was excellent..until I broke it.

I have been demo'd a not too expensive Phasemation MC Cart' alongside a DS Audio Cart'. The Phasemation was in my view an impressive Cart' as a comparison and considering the price difference. 

@pindac , which one did you audition? These are back on my radar as I think about moving to a higher-level MC, like some of the MSL carts.

I have never known the Phasemation Cart' Model.

I am going to suggest it was a higher up the range model, maybe the 2000 as the resident system used is approx' £200000, using Soulution Amp's and Maxonic Field Coil Speakers.

The DS Audio Cart' demo'd was claimed to be their most expensive from this period of time, I again assume the Grandmaster. 

I have also had a very long demo' of a Phasemation EA 350 Phonostage used with Valve Amplification and QUad ESL's and have been left very impressed, it is one of a few SS Phon's  I have developed a real liking for, and would/still recommend it as a a model worth receiving a demo' if a SS Phon' in the $4K range was of interest to others.
