I have the 2M black and an AT440mla and what I highly recommend is to buy a vintage Shure V15 IV from Wittsolutions (eBay reseller) and then a new stylus for that cart from Ed Saunders. I guarantee you will thank me for this amazing combo. Should run you no more than $500 for both. This was one of the finest cartridges EVER made.
Step up from AT150MLX on Technics 1200
Hi,
I have been enjoying my AT 150MLX for about 18 months now with a Jolida JD9 and Technics 1200 table.
However, the upgrade bug is biting and I would appreciate any advice on some choices to consider for an upgraded cartridge.
There is nothing wrong with the AT150, I just wonder what I might be missing. I have been reading about Nagaoka MP500 and Ortofon 2M Black but do not know that these would be that much better for like twice the price of the AT150.
I have class D amplification and Maggie 3.6's so a cartridge with a little bit more warmth and bass would seem to make sense due to the leaness of the SS and Maggies.
Has anyone else made a change from the AT150 and got to something that they like better? And why!?
Thanks!
