Cartridge for a vintage Sansui table/arm


Hi All,

Looking for a recommendation on a cartridge for a vintage Sansui 2050 arm/table. I don’t really understand all the issues re: ideal compliance and weight. This will be playing through an Audible Illusions Modulus 2D with 28db of gain in the phono and 30db addl. In the line stage for a total of 58 db of gain. Loading is fixed at 47k ohms.

The rest of the system is a 30 watt Music Reference amp and Proac 1sc speakers, Max budget would be $500 but I would greatly prefer to spend less. I also want something very midrange oriented (along the lines of Spica TC-50 speakers if that makes sense).

I have a pdf of the brochure and manuals but can't figure out how to post them.

Thanks,
Wes

Thanks guys. I picked the table up locally so I could spin some vinyl on a second system. It wasn't expensive and is in really unbelievable condition, at least cosmetically. I'll look into the Shure as it sure is in my budget :)

Cheers,
Wes
This is the full number, M97xe. This place has a good price.
