I've done a direct comparison between
AT VM540ML and Nagaoka MP-150. Nagaoka MP-150 is the clear winner with fuller sound and better dynamics. The 540 is too thin and analytical (for my taste) to the point where music just isn't enjoyable.
Another Cart opinion thread....
Hi all,
I have a Music Hall 2.3SE and am looking to upgrade the stock cart (essentially an AT95E). I'm considering the AT VM540ML, Nagaoka MP-150, Sumiko Moonstone and perhaps Denon-110.
I'm looking for something with great detail, not too bright, tight bass and smooth mids.
I have a Rega Mini phono stage, Krell HTS 7.1 pre/pro, Adcom 5802 amp, Martin Logan SL3's and a REL Storm III sub.
Any suggestions? Differences in sonic quality between these carts?
TIA
