cartridge recommendations for Nottingham table


Hi

in a painting move, my Sumiko Blue Plate Special cartridge was bent and will need to be replaced (direct replacement is only $100 less)

I was curious about other cartridges

I have a Nottingham Spacedeck

wanted to get something well under $500
revealing with good tonal balance

my phono preamp is an Audio Research PH2

thanks

Dude, get a Shelter 501 MK 2! You will not enjoy your Spacedeck/Space Arm ensemble to the fullest if you skimp on the cartridge. Other worthy candidates: Ortofon Kontrapunkt A or B, Denon DL-103's, Benz Micro Glider 2, etc.., There are plenty of good choices. Take your time and do a little research; you will reap the sonic rewards in the long run!

Enjoy!
