Why not try out an MC cart? They tend to show a bit more detail. I wouldn't go much above the aforementioned Dynavector. For your table and arm a Sumiko Bluepoint would be a good fit, or a Hana EL (or EH, whatever matched best with the M1 LPS). It would be fun to get an Ortofon Quintet Blue to compare with your 2M Blue
I would steer away from Shibata and microline carts with your setup. It might be done, but they are really fussy to get aligned right. Ellipticals are much more forgiving.
What phono cartridge is suited for metal and heavy rock?
I want to purchase a new phono cartridge to replace my Ortofon 2m Blue. Since I'm not an expert by any means, I could do with some advice.
My musical taste is on the heavier side, I mainly listen to stonerrock, metal and 70's rock.
My turntable is a Pro-Ject Perspective. I use a Musical Fidelity M1 LPS phono Preamp which is connected to a Marantz AV 8801 Preamp. My amplifier is a Marantz MM7055.
The sound of the Blue is a bit bright, maybe somewhat dull, for my taste. But since there are so many brands and models to choose from some help would be appreciated.
