Recommend an MC cartridge

 the hana umami m ay be just the thing

I have the Ortofon Cadenza Black and have used it for about two years. I like it so much I bought another as a backup. Once my original needs service, I will have it rebuilt and keep is a a backup. 

I think the model is Denon 103 but you need to have the wood body installed  beats the pants off of anything recomme3nded above  modeled after the Gold Bug.

My experience with cartridges is buying them, getting a few expensive clunkers and getting some really nice “cheap” and some expensive good ones.  All just buying based on the same reviews you probably read.  Basically just trading the reviews and trial and error.

One mid-point cartridge that I liked so much I bought a new one for my daughter is the Van den Hul Frog Gold.  Green and kinda stupid looking.  But it sounds consistently nice.  It’s also really easy to install correctly and adjust.  Not sure why, as you would think they’d all be more or less the same.

@dwcda, any concerns with getting a MI Soundsmith cartridge? If I could only use one cartridge, it would be a Soundsmith.
