Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon
If you have a bigger budget and you like things a little bright, this is a good deal. Not my listing and no affiliation. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis99g8c-lyra-delos-new-cartridges |
^^ +1. Audio Marts are free for all and this makes them the best markets. A´gon´s and eBay´s fees are ridiculous, not to mentions PainPal´s. I never use it ´cos it´s just a greedy monster that nothing can control. They will and do whatever they desire without any notion, they give a damn to their customers. All they care is money. And due to marriage of eBay and PainPal, eBay has become a very secure market for dishonest buyers because eBay in near all disputes sides the buyer. Nowadays eBay´s biggest problem is dishonesty due to PainPal´s "protection" policy. Sad but true. Btw, here´s ASTATIC´s 2nd best cart (after the MF 2500) for a ridiculous price on US Audio Mart. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649457014-astatic-mf100/ It´s absolutely a killer MF cart because I own another sample : ) Highly recommended ! |
If you want to hear what your Blackbird really sounds like instead of spending $1,000 on another cartridge, get a high quality tonearm. That will make a world of difference with every cartridge. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649486797-origin-live-illustrious-mk3c-carbon-tonearm/ |
Dear @harold-not-the-barrel : That MF-100 you mentioned is everything you want but little brigth as the OP is asking for. Bis a bis MC is way better than MM/MI good alternative. MM/MI is an alternative as is MC cartridges and overall MC is a superior " technology ". Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
