After talking with too many people. I pulled the trigger on the Sumiko Blackbird. I think it will pair well with my system. It is a big system in a big room. I was able to get it for less than a thousand.
Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
Currently have Clearaudio Virtuoso MM cartridge . Wanting to go to MC. Found a Hana ML and a Sumiko Blackbird on sale for $1000. I am using a Musical Fidelity M6 phonostage so it will handle all. Is it worth it to change? If so, which one? I live in the sticks in Alabama so listening is almost impossible.
