My record collection is 95% rock. Classic and other. I have always loved Goldring 1022 gx. Even better than the more expensive 1042. It has plenty of grunt for rock. Higher output, slight warmth that emphasizes the bass region a little, and a gorgeous midrange. Also a smooth , detailed top end. I have used it on a VPI Scout. Loved it.
A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection
I am looking for a MM cartridge to work well with my VPI Prime Turntable with the 3D arm and to compliment my large Rock collection. Presently I have a ZU/Denon DL103 MC cartridge with a bent canteliver. I will be sending it to Soundsmith for repair and keep it as a spare. My Rogue tube preamp accepts MC and MM cartridges. I want to keep this in the 500-600 range new and cheaper if used. Recommendations and why?
