Thanks so much, very helpful. Great link to a great review Yogiboy. Noromance, how was the Nagaoka with voices and acoustic music, which is what I listen to most often. Speakers are Harbeth P3’s if that’s any help.
Grado Prestige Gold 3
Hi all, I have a thirty five year old Linn Axis with Basic Plus tone arm in a second system that I love and I find hard to beat unless I spend $2500-3000. I am currently running an Ortofon Om30 but would like to try something new under $250-300. A friend recommended the Grado Prestige Gold 3. Anybody have any thoughts regarding this cartridge with the Basic Plus tone arm? Any other recommendations? Anyone think it’s worth spending a little more (not too much more) on something else or moving to an MC cartridge?

Thanks for all the great advice. The Nagaoka MP 500 has peaked my interest @dogberry but I wonder if I’m bumping up against the limits of the Linn Axis with Basic Plus arm. I love the table and I haven’t heard one better yet under $2500, but I assume at some point the cartridge is limited by the table and arm. I just don’t know what that limit is. Maybe the MP 500 is it? |
@secretguy , what MC do you move to? |
