V15xMR or Blue Point Special


I would like some opinions as to which cartridge would be the better choice for my table, the Shure V15xMR or the Sumiko Blue Point Special. My table is a SOTA Saphire with an MMT arm. I currently switch between a Shure type IV and a Sumiko Talisman Alchemist 1A. Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I would spend a little bit more to get a Dynavector 10X4 or 20H if they can properly set up with your TT and arm. I am using a 18 years old 10A which I could not set it up correctly with my cheaper TT I previouly owned. Until my V15-V damaged from the move, so I had to spend the time to set up the 10A with HK T60 TT. Allowing it to burn in for about 50 hours, then it started to show the analog magic. The rest is history and I ended up listening to LP exclusively now and brought a new record cleaner (VPI 16.5) to some of the used LPs from Goodwill for $2 a piece. I never enjoy analog more and I think you would like it too. Happy listening (to LPs)!!
