Good cartridge for a Sony PS-LX5 with original headshell
I'd like to upgrade my system with a new cartridge, MM or MC, for my Sony PS-LX5 TT with the original headshell without overspending for this TT? I realize there is a point of no return as far as improving the sound, I just don't know where that is. Currently has well used Grado lower grade cartridge. System is MAC recapped c26, well maintained MAC 2100 and Polk Lsim 707 speakers. Thanks for any advice. Chuck
I believe your arm has a usable cartridge weight range between 7,5-11,5 gr (including headshell). Whatever cartridge you choose make sure it has high compliance and is light, approx. or below 7 grams. Like, Audio Technica VM540ML, Goldring 2200, Ortofon 2Mblue, Grado Gold or Silver.
