I'm using a Goldring Excel VX, which is wonderful. However, it is time to get a new cartridge, so I looked into getting it retipped. But, I found another Excel on this site with low hours and have bought it.
That said, however, an aquaintance at Goldring told me that many Linn/Ittock owners (and some reviewers) really prefer Linn cartridges with Linn tables.
Seems there are many great choices, and that all of the above suggestions should give outstanding results.
Next question: which is best phono stage to pair with Linn/Ittock? Is this cartridge-dependent?
