I need some sound advice

I've got the upgrade itch. Presently, I have a Music Hall MMF-9 that I really enjoy but want a bit more. I do like it because I don't like to fiddle with things. Would a change in cartridge be a good bet ( if so, any thoughts) or would i need to start over with a new rig? ARC SP-16 pre, ARC 150.2 amp, LM Labs 926 Electra speakers.

Thanks,

John

I'd have to agree with Dewald here, try a Sumiko Blackbird. It's a very nice, musical cartridge with a high enough output (2.5 mV) that should work well with your ARC SP-16.

Good luck,

John

Well John, it sounds as if a cartridge change may scratch that itch. What cartridge are you using now? How much are you willing to spend? What do you feel you are missing? Transparency? Musicality?

Answering these questions would help us help you.

Thanks again. I think I've narrowed it down to the Blackbird and the Dynevector 20 H. Any thoughts between these two??

Two very nice choices, you really cannot go wrong with either. I would think the Blackbird would be just a tad sweeter, while the Dynavector would be just a little more transparent. Your choice.
