Really under the radar ..... but the Nagaoka MP-150 is a great match for the table and arm, and a fantastic value ! I had the Exact 2 on my P3-24 for quite a while, and when the cantilever snapped, it was time for a change. I listened to the Dyna 10x5, Ortofon 2M Bronze, ClearAudio Virtuoso Wood, and the Nagaoka. Bang for the buck, the Nagaoka simply sounded the best ! Check it out .... you may be pleasantly surprised. The Nagaoka does not have the "status" name of the others, but it certainly sings sweetly on the P3-24/RB 301 set-up.
Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red???
I am trying to find the right cartridge for a Rega P3-24 turntable. Ortofon offers several choices in both MM and MC
The 2M Bronze is at the upper end of that MM series.($499)
There is a new low output MC, The "Quintet Red" reasonably priced at 299.00
Last the Ortofon Red Vivo (high output at mV 3.5) retails for approx. $350.00 and may be discontinued
This is small but confusing spread of phono cartridges. Has anyone had experience with one or all of the above mentioned in terms of overall sound quality. Thank you!!
