Looking for recs for my first foray into MC cartridges...


I am hoping to keep my budget around $500.
Existing system includes:
-Garrard 301 turntable 
-Thomas Schick 12" tonearm
-Jolida JD 9 II tube phono stage
-Supratek Chenin Line stage tube preamp
-Cary 200.2 solid state power amp
-KEF r700 loudspeakers
-REL r900 subwoofer

Hey Spencer,

yes, I have been considering the Zu Denon DL-103 (not the 103R because I don’t need a boost in treble). The problem is Zu Audio has been sold out of these for some time now.
thanks,
Jared

@thiefoflight I do love my sound now, just always looking for something more. I currently use an Ortofon 2M Bronze cart as my main (I also use an Ortofon 2M mono and an Ortofon 78 cart). I am definitely looking for more detail...

thanks,
Jared
