Best cartridge for my setup?


Hello, I was wondering if I could get some advice on the best cartridge to buy for $200.00 or less. Please keep it $200 or less. I've narrowed it down to either a Denon dl-160 or a Orrtofon 2M blue. Any other suggestions I should think about?

I just started getting into vinyl. I have a Technics SL-1200, I will be purchasing a $400ish pre soon and it is going to a pair of krk rokit 8 with sub. I mostly listen to rock but plenty of jazz and some pop.

Thanks for your help.

I cannot comment on the two pickups you mentioned, but FWIW, I am running an Ortofon OM-30 Super in my Thorens TD-166 MkII, and I am very pleased with the sound. Check the reviews section for my review of the OM-30 Super.
I totally agree with Mingles about the DL-160 though I have not listened to the 2M blue to be fair. For the price the performance is excellent. I have used both the DL-160 and the DL-110 in systems and was always impressed at their performance.
