I'd like to recommend Garrott Brothers, but even the lowest model is AU$230 + shipping.
Budget cartridge for SOTA Moonbeam TT.
I have just acquired a SOTA Moonbeam TT which I intend to give to my daughter as hopefully an upgrade to her Teac TT.
My question is this.
What budget cartridge can you recommend?
My first thoughts are Ortofon 2m Red but sure there are other worthy contenders.
It has an old Grado of dubious vintage on it right now and as its history is completely unknown that has to go.
Budget would like to stay below $125 or so and prefer new so no vintage carts this time around please.

Chakster. You never heard about Garrott Brothers ? The brothers are no longer with us, but their reputation was very strong, they are legendary for retipping service of Decca and Koetsu. Dynamic Coil MM cartridge invented by Garrott Brothers is one of my favorite (vintage model P77 now upgraded with P77i ). Nowadays the company follows Garrott Brothers tradition, so you can buy any of the Dynamic Coil models (depends on the price). I think one of the very best is P77i, but within your budget you can check K1. Seach audiogon for Garrott Brothers if you want the full story https://garrottbrothers.com/ |
Just replaced mine here Be careful when you pulling out the stylus, you will need that plastic thing provided by Grado for this needs |
