Oh for the good old days when $1000 bought a TOTL Koetsu!
Going from MM to MC
I have a linn table with an akito2 arm I just replaced the preamp with a rogue rp7 and bought a pro ject phono box DS3B phono preamp. I am also going to get new phono cable from linn with the xlr ends on it. Right now I have an adikt on my table. I want to go to MC to get better detail and seperation. I have been researching Cartridges and have narrowed it down to 3 the linn Krystal the lyra delso or the ortofon quintet S black. My Lin repair person is trying to get me to go with the linn but I have herd the other 2 have better sound any advice.where to go or even a different one all together and why thank you Michael.

@jasonbourne71 ...or the even-better old days when the Technics SL-10 came out...a literal "plug 'n play" TT that came stock with a MC cart. The retail on it was something like 600~750$ at the time....which launched a 'pre-online era' hunt. Yielded a buy from Wisconsin Discount Stereo (long gone) for $300, and a long happy relationship; missed that MC cart as much as the SL.... Local SF dealer stocked the 10s', asked what I got mine for.....a shock, as it was lower than what it cost him to offer them.... Still miss it....but cemented my pref of linear arms....

@asvjerry : You are correct! I had forgotten about the SL-10! I only encountered it once years ago when I was buying some tubes from a fellow that had one. He showed me his SL-10 and told me it came with an mc cartridge. I was surprised! |
