I don't often answer threads but given the responses (or lack of) to your thread, I figured I'd offer a bit of advice. After following one of thee LONGEST threads regarding MM cartridges vs. the perceived superiority of MC cartridges (Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?)
I've read this rather lengthy post of VERY good to great offerings still available and must share with you my findings. Three very good MM cartridges. The first being Nagaoka MP-500 an awesome cart for the $$ ..secondly being the Ortofon M-20 FL (fine line stylus) my absolute FAVORITE and the Azden YZ-50
To make a long story short I want to recommend the Ortofon M20 FL, without going into much detail , it is a GREAT buy you won't miss anything.IN fact if you do the minor amount of leg work to locate one of these fine carts (hint eBay). You will NEVER second guess your decision .
In fact if you do take my advice and purchase it and for any reason and do not like it, I will buy the cartridge from you ,NO questions asked, as I need to stock up. This says nothing about the quality of the Nagaoka MP-500 which A'gon member J*Loveys compared the Nagaoka quite favorably to his mega $$$$ Allaerts MC2 Finish cart , but that's a whole other story. As a point of reference all this cartridge is at home in all of my tone arms Origin Live Silver,SME 3009 and exquisitley in my Graham Phantom II.
Also member DougDeacon upon visiting preferred the Ortofon M-20 to the Nagaoka 500
