While there is no doubt I would be in "nirvana" with the Koetsu, the best cartridge for any individual will depend on his musical preferences; analytical for rock, and a Koetsu for jazz and female vocalists are the first generalities that need to be made before one goes into arm compatibility.
Choosing the right cartridge....
Looking for the right phono cartridge to compliment the incredible Herron VTPH-2. Sending to Keith to update to the "A" version soon!
My current cartridge is the AT-ML150/OCC. A wonderful piece back in the day. Today, I find it to be a bit analytical. Maybe it's my ears - maybe it's the gear. At the same time, I'm looking for a higher output cartridge, since the Moon 350P Line Stage pre-amp has low output.
Either MC or MM, what is the recommended cartridge for this specific setup? Looking for a crisp higher end and more pronounced midrange.
