I think Grado is one of the best choices for this type of application. I personally run a Grado Sonata low output on my VPI HW-19 Mk III, and am very happy. Phono section of ARC SP 9 Mk II.
AR XA turntable needs new cartridge...
Hi -
This deck has been in use for some time with little upgrade. I got it used and it had a Shure m97xe cart. It was fine for a few years, but now I'd like to upgrade to a better cartridge and would like to stay under $200, if possible. It would have to pair well with the original metal arm. Does anyone have any recommendations in this regard, any experience with same turntable and a modern cart that really shines? thanks for any suggestions here...
