Needle Doctor has the Ortofon MC25FL for $250, haven't heard it but it's on my short list of cartridges in that price range.I'm giving some serious thought to buying the OC-9, from what I understand, you want to make sure you get the OC-9 with the Microline stylus and not the older version without it. Does anybody know when these were last made?
Is there a better deal than the AT OC-9 at 200?
I own 2 turntables and one has an OC-9 recently purchased and the other has a very tired SUPEX MC cartridge. I am willing to spend up to $250 but I can't find anything the equal of the OC-9 unless I go to 300 to 400 dollars. Any suggestions on a budget MC cartridge?
