I’ve owned a bunch from my first Pickering a million years ago, to Audio-Technica, Van den Hul, and an amazing Lyra Etna on the upper end, but I’ve found Ortofon to never let me down in terms of sound, quality, and value. The Cadenza Bronze (0.4 mV) has always been my go-to fallback cart. When I worked at a US turntable manufacturer I even discovered that their low-end 2M line of MM carts punched above their weight, for folks buying entry-level tables. Happy hunting.
