The Blue Point Special is a good call if it matches your system. But I think that the current king of the low priced great sounding cartridges is the MM Grado Platinum Reference Series. Grado has found some unique ways to make an incredibly great sounding MM cartridge and it lists at $300.00. Dale
A good cartridge between 300.00 and 400.00
I want to invest between 300.00 and 400.00 in a new phono cartridge that have enough definition ( toanl rightness, speed and detail without harshness).
What cartridge to buy?
Benz Micro Gold or Silver MC
Goldring Eroica MC
Clearaudio Aurum MM
Sumiko Blue Point MC
Audio Technica OC9 MC
Other???
My front end: Linn LP12 Cirkus with Akito II tonearm
Preamplifier: Spectral DMC 10 gamma ( very good phono stage)
Amplifier : Bryston 4B ST
Speakers : Quad ESL 63
Wiring : ( Interconnect and Speaker cables): Straightwire Virtuoso
