VPI Scout cart pairing

I've used a Dynavector 10X5 with good results and just recently a Dynavector 17D3 with much better results. Of course, the 17D3 is about $600 more.
I listen mainly to rock and jazz with some female vocals sprinkled in.

Dear Craw13: There are some good alternatives like Nagaoka MP-50/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Reson Reca or Ortofon 2MBlack, all these cartridges can match your tonearm and priorities.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Denon 160 is a high output MC that works well. I sell VPI and use it as a demo cartridge. Years ago it and the Dynavector were about the same price but the Denon is currently available for $100 or so. The Dynavector is also very good, probably a little better but is more expensive. I sell them too so I obviously think they work well in the VPI. Note, I don't sell on the internet so am not trying to make a sale.

I second the Denon 160, great sound and value.

I would recommend the Dynavector 20XH as a good compromise of value and performance. I use the low output version with great results. VPI sells a hybrid version of this cartridge specifically designed for their tables, so this is a safe choice.
