How to choose a cartridge?

I think its important to get a cartridge that works well with the tone arm it will be mounted to. What are people using with that arm?? This is a good place to start.

I just got a new (used) arm which is adjustable from ~11.5 to 19 grams of equivalent mass. So I can use all but the highest compliance carts.

 

If you visit the link I have made available for Juergen

I am trying to find the Juergen link.

You cannot go wrong with the Hana or the Ortofon 2m’s, in particular, the 2m Bronze.

I own both the Hana el and 2m Bronze, for the money they are two fantastic cartridges.... the 2m Bronze cartridge can accept the 2m black stylus for future upgrade. 

Stylus shape is also important. I've found that fine line generally dig deeper and get more subtleties. Of course they are generally more expensive

Channel separation and stylus shape, and cantilever material are all good.

The Link is to one of the many available Juergen's reviews of Cartridges, it has reasonable description to help see where the Cart's share and differ in the performance on offer.

Note: this is not a Cart' recommendation.
