For very little cost,pick up ( Ebay ) a good used Vintage Shure M91ED ( $50 ish ) ..and go to LP Gear and order a Jico replacement stylus ( $150ish )..Total cost around $200...You'll be quite pleased on just how good it will sound...Another option is the Vintage a Shure M55E ...Same situation..Both great ......The M91ED is a touch sweet and the Shure M55E being more Neutral all around........
cartridge for Thorens TD 147 with TP 16 Mk III
Hi
What is a reasonable amount to spend on a cartridge for Thorens TD 147 with TP 16 Mk III tone arm ?
I think that turntable / arm combo deserves a cartridge of at least $200 and I am considering Ortofon 2M blue, 2M Bronze, Sumiko Blue Point 2. Definitely would like something with deep and full base, some sparkle , something different from Grado (too laid-back) but not bright and aggressive.
the phono pre-amp is EAR 834P
Any thoughts / recommendations highly appreciated?
