Cartridge recommedations

Hi

I ordered a Music Hall Classic turntable this week and want to upgrade the Spirit cartridge it comes with.

I am on a tight budget and have narrowed down some pick's.

1- Rega ania

2- Dynovector 10x5

3- Ortofon Quintet bronze

4-Audio technia  AT-33sa

5-Hana sl

At present I have a Sound smith othello mounted on a Sota comet turntable I really like.

I have a Feszel SS-4772  tube amp with KT-88 tubes

I also have a Jolida jd1 phono stage I can use on an mc cart.

These will run into a pair of Megnapan MG-1s I rebuildt last year

Any help is greatly accepted.

Thanks

Greg

Hi Greg,

I have a Hana SL on my VPI Scout (unipivot arm) and absolutely love it. I did an a/b comparison when I had the Nagaoka MP300 and the Hana beat it in my opinion. The Hana had a larger soundstage and  seemed more rhythmic than the Nagaoka. I can’t comment on the comparison with Dynavector. 
 

Best of luck on your journey, it’s a lot of fun!
