IIRC, the Akito has a rather short headshell which makes it difficult to impossible to mount some cartridges. Linn carts from back in the day (Karma, Asaka, Troika) all had the same small dimensions thereby almost necessitating the use of their own carts on their tonearms.
Advice on Phono Cartridge
Hello All!
I have a Pro-Ject Debut III with the original Ortofon OM-5 cartridge. I have never been very impressed with the sound of the table/cartridge. I am looking at upgrading the cartridge and I am most interested in The Ortofon 2M Blue or the Denon DL-103R. I would like to stay under $300 for a cartridge. I haven't really heard any other cartridges. People seem to have a lot of good things to say about those two, but I'm open to others as well. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
