Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation

I went with the Ortofon 2m Black.  

I really wanted to try something different than the venerable Roksan Corus Black.  The cart was, as the Brits say, a "cracker." Sometimes I would just grin and laugh at how great it sounded.  

I really wanted to avoid going in to the moving coil world, just yet.  

I will post a follow-up when I receive it and get it set up properly.

Thanks all!  I'll be back by the weekend with a review.  

JB, Wait a week and play a lot of music before you post a review. Else you are likely to be taken by the different-ness of a new cartridge as much as by its intrinsic good or bad qualities. I also tend to trust Raul. If he says your Roksan is a "keeper", keep it, and maybe some day have it re-tipped. Everyone needs at least two cartridges. (I personally have never owned or heard a Roksan cartridge.)

FWIW, I strongly disagree with a few of the generalizations made here.  IMO, a good MM cartridge is good on any type of speaker, not just a "box" speaker.  Likewise for a good MC type.  Also, this is a weaker conviction, in my experience high output MC cartridges are as a rule not as good sounding as either the best MMs or the best LOMCs. I have heard a lot of well rated HOMCs in my system (Benz Glider, Transfiguration Esprit), but obviously not all.

I thought that poster was just trying to be being funny.  If he was serious, that's just stupid.

Dear paraneer: With out a deep explanation could be a joke or just ignorance.

regards and enjoy the music,
