With the RP8 and the lack of VTA you will want to stay in the Rega family of cartridges. They do make some really good cartridges. The suggestion to call Upscale is a good one.
Good luck.
1st cartridge upgrade on 1st TT
Hey everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my 1st cartridge on my 1st TT.
A few years ago, I got into vinyl with a Rega RP8. Left it completely stock and just enjoyed the vinyl experience. Read and learned a lot. Still lots to learn!
I had been pondering an upgrade to a MM cartridge for a while.
The stock Exact cartridge got damaged during a recent move. Guess it's time to stop pondering and find a replacement.
Any RP 8 owners have suggestions?
Listening to mostly classical and jazz.
Not sure what to budget for this. Perhaps up to around $1k.
Thanks!
