Which usual suspect TT in $1500 range.


I have a Rega Planar 3 with an arm designed explicitly for the ADC XLM Mk II which has been my reference cart for 3 decades. No real styluses available so must make a change.

Narrowed it down to 3 TT's in range of what I want to spend.
Cart will be Nagoka MP-200 which weighs 6.5 grams , low-medium compliance at 20 , which I will track at its max
of 2 grams. I listen to Classical Music only on vinyl.

2. Clearaudio Concept
3. VPI Traveller

I like the looks of the SOTA for whats that's worth.

Schubert, a few years ago, I "rediscovered" MM/MI cartridges;
thanks to "you know who". Among many others, I bought a
NOS XLM MkII which sounded great until one channel went out (about five
hours!). I can't imagine that the problem is the stylus which looks perfect,
but rather an internal wiring problem. If you are interested, send me your
mailing address privately and I will send you the stylus. If you want it it's
yours.
