Whats the best MC cartridge for my new VPI SCOUT?


Finally bought one and am looking for a good cartridge. Say under $800.00...or is that too much for a SCOUT with the stock 9" arm? Also, I will need a step up device to use into my MAC preamp. I awaite my enlightenment with baited breath.

Before offering suggestions the following questions should be asked:

1. Which Mac preamp? Does it have a phono stage? If so, what are its gain and input impedance?

2. What kind of music will you be playing?

3. What kind of sonic results are you after?

Rattling off some cartridge we happen to like without any effort at qualification won't help Dean_fuller know whether it will suit his system, his music or his sonic priorities.

Dean, the ball's still in your court.
