Which usual suspect TT in $1500 range.


I have a Rega Planar 3 with an arm designed explicitly for the ADC XLM Mk II which has been my reference cart for 3 decades. No real styluses available so must make a change.

Narrowed it down to 3 TT's in range of what I want to spend.
Cart will be Nagoka MP-200 which weighs 6.5 grams , low-medium compliance at 20 , which I will track at its max
of 2 grams. I listen to Classical Music only on vinyl.

2. Clearaudio Concept
3. VPI Traveller

I like the looks of the SOTA for whats that's worth.

Good guess Jperry, a LMF 1. The Planar 3 could no doubt use a complete well and bearing clean-up which to do right is a major hassle.
I did not know any current Shure or Ortofon Carts were in the 50u + of an xlm.

Buconero, never heard of them , will take a look.

Thanks Guys.
Not a bad idea Bpoletti. Can always get serviced in USA as well. Main reason I ain't getting any Project or Music Hall.

I 've always liked Jelco as well.
