Ortofon X5 is cheaper, especially through Hong Kong ($110).
Dynavector 10x4 or Ortofon X5-MC?
Probably these 2 carts have been discussed before, but I just found this site (i.e, thanks for your patience). I have a Rega P3 with RB300 and am replacing a Blue Point Special. I guess I was happy with, but never "wowed" by the BPS--maybe I found it a little edgy, I'm not sure, but its recent demise has given me the opportunity to check out other possibilities. What do you hear in these choices, and how might they compare to my BPS?
Additionally, does either cartridge offer any problems or ease in setting up in my TT? I don't mind a bit of futzing, but I'm not a tweaker. Do I need a spacer/ring with either of these, or to order anything else to set them up and go? THX for your advice.
