Cartridge recommendation for classical listening

Dear @rvpiano : """ Based on the bad opinion of the Sumiko stated here.... """

first than all I do not seen a bad valid opinion in this thread and at the end the main and more important opinion is the one coming from you and this is what you posted:

"" But it works wonderfully on my system. It does really sing..."""

and you followed with this other post:

""" It is sounding even better. Along with the definition and detail has come a sweetness and warmth I didn’t expect. Very happy with it! """


and now you are thinking to return it. Are you seriously?

Not all audiophiles can post cartridge information experiences as the ones you had.
Who cares other person opinions? or whom are those other persons?

Cantilever fragility?, not really. VdH Colibri or the Dyna XV-1 or EMT ones comes with the same type of " cantilever fragility " and these cartridges stays in a 3.5K-7K price range and owners are really satisfied with, including me. The Virtuoso comes with almost that " cantilever fragility " too. But it's up toyou that is the person who has to live with.

There is no perfect audio items.

Dear @rvpiano : I agree with shubert on the Nagaoka and inside your budget you can 't go wrong with the Nagaoka MP-500 and it's a hard cartridge to beats and a true chalange for any other today cartridge:
