Simaudio moon 110LP V2 MM/MC phono will give you great satisfaction and flexibility. Can't get better at this price point IMHO.
Is my new Cartridge Compatible?
Hello Audiogon Fam, I aquired an Audio Technica AT-LP8x a few months ago. I decided to taek a big leap forward and upgrade the MM Cartridge to a MC (At33xMLB) I installed it yesterday with a new 13Gram Headshell also from Audio Technica. Now I can't balance it. I raised the height all the way and did my best but still can't be balanced correctly. Can anybody guide me in the right direction please? Not sure what I should do now. Thank you.

@viridian thanks. That Softone Model 4 you mentioned looks great. Just seems hard to find one. Any ideas? |
Softone is a direct sale from Japan. Your cartridge calls for >100ohm load. Softone caps at 40ohm. I would recommend Sutherland KC Vibe Mk2 that has more flexibility. You might want to load the cartridge at 200+ to open up the top end a bit. You can do this with Vibe 2 but not with Softone. |
Here is another option - Whest Two.2 Discrete. You might be able to bargain it down to around $1,000. |
