for a major upgrade, still mm, the AT150x
High output MC cartridges?
Hello All,
Has anyone compiled a list or can refer me to a source of high output MC cartridges? Or are you aware of several of these type cartridges that are reasonably priced? I am interested in getting a feel for what is available these days along with your opinions.
I have recently acquired (not fully broken in) a Denon DL-160 and listening to some recordings, I am dazzled at how wide and deep its soundstage is. The price is certainly tangible for most but I would like to experiment with other cartridges.
I know the absolute purists will tell me to use a low output MC cartridge with a capable phono stage or step-up transformer but as always, disposable income is the issue.
Thanks and regards,
Jan
