I have the same turntable. I am using an Ortofon 2M Bronze (MM) Verso cartridge. The stylus is a nude fineline and is detailed and pleasing. If you go this route, make sure to buy the Verso version, which is specifically designed for Thorens-style undermount headshell/cartridge configurations. The Verso version is just outside your price range at @ $450.00. As a bonus, if you ever choose to upgrade, you can swap in an Ortofon 2M Black (MM) Shibata replacement stylus.
cartridge recommendation for Thorens TD166 MKII
Hi
Looking for a new cartridge for my Thorens turntable, preferably under $400 and moving Magnet, NOT Moving coil. would love top try something lively but not brash. Am currently using a Grado G+ which is rather old now.
thanks for any suggestions in advance.
