MC Upgrade for Pro-Ject Debut III


I just purchased a lovely Pro-Ject Debut III on Audiogon and was wondering what folks might recommend for a MC cartridge upgrade.

At home, I have a Nottingham Horizon with a Dynavector 20x low output cartridge. Should I get the same thing for the Pro-Ject? Seems unlikely but...

I'm open to suggestions...thanks!

Hi, Jon,

I run an Audio-Technica AT33PTG LOMC cartridge on a mmf-7 turntable and it sounds very good, even in comparison with a DV-20XL, which is on the other mmf-7. For about half the cost you'll have a great upgrade for the Debut III.

The one caution about the 33PTG is that it won't be covered under a U.S.A. warranty and any problems with it will have to be covered by AudioCubes. They've been fairly good about service when I've worked with them. It's unfortunate that Audio-Technica doesn't market the 33PTG in the U.S.A., it's a great value.
