Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM
I'd like to dip my feet into the MC world. What would be a good introduction as I am going from an Ortofon 2M Black MM?
Here's my setup
Manley Chinook tube phono preamp
Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP integrated
PSB Imagine T2 loudspeakers
I'd like to stay south of $1k. I listen to all sorts of music, but on vinyl it would be in this order:
Jazz 50%
Rock 40%
Folk/Other 10%
I've never had a MC so I don't know where to start. Thanks all!!!

Stringreen, Interesting to read your post about the Windfield. I own a rather more rare now vintage Ortofon, the MC7500, which I think pre-dates the Windfield, may be the "father" of the Windfield. It hadn't been in use much for the last few years, but I am listening to it regularly these days, and I think it is very fine. JB. What are you going to do about phono gain? And if you must scratch this itch, I would say get an ART9, especially if the gain of your Chinook is marginal for a really LOMC. (The ART9 puts out more signal voltage than most MCs not in the "High Output" category.) |
jbhiller Good luck in your quest |
