Cartridge for Rega planar 2


Ok, so maybe my last post had too specific a heading. I'm looking to replace a pretty well used up Rega Super Bias on my Planar 2/RB250. Naim Nait3 amp w/MM phono board, extremely fact and revealing speakers. I'd like to (well, have to) stay in the
Also, the TT needs a general tightening and probably a new belt. Can I do this myself? How? (I'm pretty risk averse).

Advice?

Thanks!

You'll find people selling the Rega cartridges either new or nearly new on Agon for quite cheap. I have a super bias on my P3 and I quite like it ... it's not too bright and quite natural sounding. I'd be tempted to find an elys or super elys.

Had a friend who switched to goldring (though I don't know which one) and said that the sound was bright and lacking in bass compared to the rega.

I think that the moral is that if you can live with the rega perhaps get a new rega cart. else demo a cartridge since those that are "better" may not necessarily be to your taste.
