Best cartridge under $800 for Graham 2.2

Mike,
Please be informed that Dedicatedaudio is a retailer for Shelter and the recommendation should be understood with that caveat. Thank you and good luck!!

It would help if you described what you are after: what did you like and not like about the Grado and the Ortofon?

The Grado has some sibilence. The Orto is a little bright. Mike

So you don't like brightness. From reports (no personal experience), both the Benz Glider and the Shelter seem to be your best bets from the list so far. I have heard the Benz Ace cartridge, which I found to be very pleasing, musical and smooth, quite below your budget too. I'm surprised you are experiencing sibilance with the Grado, which tonearm are you using?

Hi Blueranger, I can say that I am pretty happy with the performance of my 2.2 and Benz Glider on a Basis 2500. Mine is the Glider MO. I have been told by a few A'gon members that there is a very good step up with the Benz LO cart.

Best of luck in choosing,

Dan
