Turntable Cartridge upgrade question.

@nekoaudio is there any other brand worth looking in to ? 

There is a Hana ML for sale here which is a $1200.00 moving coil cartridge for $400.00.  The seller is well known in the forums and it is an excellent buy at 66% off.  It’s a great way to see if you like the moving coil sound without going into debt. 

7K is cheap?

I had and really enjoyed the 2M black.  I upgraded to an Audio Technica ART9 and was blown away how clean, colorful, bassy and dynamic it was compared to the 2M.

At the time it was $1100 but now the prices are higher.  If you can stretch your budget a little the ART9XI is a big winner.  

@ secretguy yes it is not 30k so sub 10K are just entry level audiophile TT 

I know you can get Riga for 2k and it is excellent TT but honestly it does not look like much
