Clear Audio Concept Wood / Satisfy Carbon Tone Arm w/Concept MC (replacement cartridge?)


I have a Clear Audio Concept Wood turntable with Satisfy Carbon Tone Arm that originally came with a Concept MC cartridge. During a move the Concept MC cartridge was damaged - the arm was bumped out of the mount and the cartridge ran across the table - ripping the stylus out of the cartridge.

In searching for a replacement cartridge I ran across a brand new Goldring Elite MC cartridge for sale at a very reasonable price, by a highly rated seller, on Audiomart.

Any thoughts on the Goldring Elite cartridge? and compatibility with the Satisfy Carbon Tone Arm?

My phono pre-amp is a Parasound Zphono XRM that is feeding my Kinki Studios Ex-M1 plus integrated amp.

" Also, Audio Technica offers a trade-in program credit for new cartridges. ( in the USA)."

timmerswalking-

You might want to verify that.  It appears only the ART series is eligible-not the OC9.

I have a crashed ART9 that need to be evaluated-thanks for the reminder!

OC9 series is a great value performer nevertheless.
