Music Hall Stealth Owners - What Cartridge Are You Using?

Sort of a no-brainer to try the 2M Black. Note that you can’t simply replace the Blue stylus.

I see Herb Reichert agrees!

I did not enjoy the 2M Blue. It was too bright for my system/room. I went with the Hana MH. Obviously more expensive even discounted to $1000. Worth every penny. I also have a Nagaoka MP200 on a different head shell. That cartridge sounded sweet as well on the Stealth. Good luck and enjoy. 

@noromance   Yes, I am aware that the 2M Black, or Bronze for that matter are options; and that their respective stylus can't simply be swapped in. And, I have read the reviews. Looking for owner experience, but thanks for the input.

@musikcrayz  Thank you for your input. I'll look into both.

I discarded the Ortofon Blue MM almost immediately. I found it a bit too bright and forward for my listening setup. Try going HEAVY on this tonearm (be sure to add the additional weight they provided if you can find it).

Noticeable Improvement/Same Money: Nagaoka MP-150 on stock headshell gave me the same liveliness as the Blue but with a bit more punch and grip.

Vast Improvement/Big Money: Dynavector DV20X-low on stock headshell is silky smooth, detailed on a huge soundstage. Great for complex music. https://www.dynavector.com/products/cart/e_20x.html

Killer Setup: I am blown away by the MoFi Master Tracker MM on My Sonic Lab SH-1Rh headshell. It seems like the Stealth tonearm responds really well to a hefty cart. I will stick with this for a while. It tracks and grinds on gnarly old vinyl and grooves and slams on fresh stuff. Really really good.
