Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2

Sorry about the typo in my note...that should be johnnyb53.

Audio-Technica AT150MLX.

Surpisingly Ortofon ProS w/STY40 stylus for $369.00 pairs extremely well with the SL1200 MKII.

The advantage of the integrated design is that the arm wand, cartridge coils and cantilever are in alignment and there is no need for a headshell. These are custom assembled by KAB.

Unless.............you can find a NOS/almost new and pristine Stanton 881 MKIIs or ATML170/180 OCC.

+1 for the AT150MLX. Started out with the Ortofon 2M Blue when I first got back into vinyl. The AT150MLX is a clear improvement.

All of these cartridges I have and they sound great on the SL 1200 MKII:

AT 440ml
AT 95e
Shure V15IV
Stanton 500e
Stanton 880s
Pickering XSV 3000

Grado Sonata Reference
Grado mono elliptical
Ortofon 2M Black
