I have been extremely pleased with my Denon DL-160 (hi output MC) in an SME 3009II arm, Thorens TD-125, Tube Audio Design TAD-150 preamp setup. You can get them for less than $200.
Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 also Phonoamp
Finally have all my HT equipment and currently blowing the dust of my analog stuff. My analog equip is as follows- Cary integrated amp, Stealth phono amp, TD-160 table and JM Lab Electra 926 Speakers. Need to to setup a new cartridge on my SME-3009 Tonearm. I listen to mostly alternative, jazz and classic rock(no head banging stuff).
I spun a record the other day and it sounded pretty good through the my old Stealth phono amp but then I have'nt spun an album in years so may not know what im missing.
Would someone please suggest a cartidge($200 range) and possibly some phonoamps ($1000 max). I have always bought used off the Gon and never been disappointed.
Thank you!
