There are a lot of vintage options out there for you, for which very high quality new stylii are available. There have been a lot of positive reviews written over the years about Shure MM cartridges and JICO stylii, for good reason. It took a $1000 MC cartridge to trump my V15/JICO combination. By the way, I found the Shure M97xe/JICO to be as good as the V15.
Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation
Hello All!
I need a recommendation on a new moving magnet phono cartridge.
Here's my system:
Roksan Radius 5 (I think MK1 or 2) turntable
Creek Evolution 100A integrated amplifier with Creek Sequel MM board
PSB Imagine T2 loudspeakers
The Roksan came with a Roksan Corus Black MM cartridge, which was likely a Goldring manufactured cart. It was great! The stylus broke off after about 8 years use.
I was wondering about the following but am open to all recommendations:
Clearaudio Maestro (yikes! It's $1200)
Ortofon 2m Black
Goldring carts similar to Corus
Audio Technica AT150MLX
Any insight and recommendations will be super appreciated!
PS: Sequel 40 mk2 MM Phono pre-amp is the device specifically suited for most types of Moving Magnet cartridges, with an output between 3.5 to 5mV and a matching impedance of 47k Ohms.
