Does anyone know a good cartridge that would work with the MT5 that is being used with the phono stage on the McIntosh MA252? I really want to upgrade from the Blue Point #2. Thanks!
Upgrading the stock cartridge on Macintosh’s MT5 turntable
Hi all,
I would like to replace and upgrade the Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 cartridge that was included with my Macintosh MT5 turntable. It sounds like the cartridge has lost some of detail when listening to my recordings. I have owned the turntable for about seven years. I clean the stylus after each play. I am very careful in my cleaning process. I listen to Classic Rock and Blues music. I have a Macintosh TT preamp connected to a Krell Illusion preamp. I have Krell Mono Blocks. The speakers are Sonus Faber IL Cremonese speakers. Any cartridge suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you
