Turntable Cartridge upgrade question.

Hi guys

I currently run Ortofon 2M Black cartridge that is MM type.

what would be step up to MC type cartridges in price range $1200 that would be way better than 2M Black ?

Thank you for input ahead!

IMO, the phono stage the most important component in your vinyl chain. The signal has to go through it. If your budget is the same as above, the new Darlington Labs MP8B looks good. Upgrade the phono stage and you will probably like that 2M Black a lot more.
