If you can find a van den Hul dealer, I would recommend his (AJ's) cartridges highly. Great detailed sound, medium output MC with a very long stylus life. There are tons of options, some less expensive, but if you include the ongoing stylus replacement cost, it makes up for it and you have a better sounding cartridge. I have an MC One Special that lists for close to $2K or so. And if you ever want to really splurge, I have heard their phono stage, the Grail, is really the holy grail (i'm not going there), perfectly matched to their cartridges. I use it with a Rega P8, so I expect it would pair well with a Linn arm, but make sure the weight is compatible. It's on the lighter side.
Going from MM to MC
I have a linn table with an akito2 arm I just replaced the preamp with a rogue rp7 and bought a pro ject phono box DS3B phono preamp. I am also going to get new phono cable from linn with the xlr ends on it. Right now I have an adikt on my table. I want to go to MC to get better detail and seperation. I have been researching Cartridges and have narrowed it down to 3 the linn Krystal the lyra delso or the ortofon quintet S black. My Lin repair person is trying to get me to go with the linn but I have herd the other 2 have better sound any advice.where to go or even a different one all together and why thank you Michael.
