Hey all, i'm new here and i want to replace my cartridge (440mla) to mc cart for 1000$ (and below) and phono amp thet can hold it very well.

Only now i see my huge mistake !

I meant:

1000 $ +/- = MC/MM

1000 $ +/- = phono stage

600$ +/- = cleaning machine

I hope now it's all clear :)

So far with my experience....

Phono stage: Used Herron Audio VTPH-1mc (if you can find one)
Cart: AT OC9/II
Cleaning machine: HW-16.5

Total should come in on budget.

Unless you are planning to eventually upgrade your table as well, my recommendations still stand as I believe they are balanced relative to the quality of your turntable. Use the extra money on VINYL!!!

And HW-16.5 is a no brainer, you gotta have one!

So what do you think about ortofon 2m black?
Is it Really the best options for me or should i have to look for other cart (MM/MC) ?

The Ortofon would work, good cart.

Or get a tried and true Shure M97XE for $89.99; a solid performer, exceptional tracker, lauded the world over, and be done with it.
