@sbank, the Quintets are low compliance, weigh 9 grams and sound very good so they could be considered in this case. I own a 103S, have used other 103 types in the past. My opinion is that the Quintets are bit more refined than the 103. This was apparent when playing orchestral pieces. Good bass and treble not tipped up either.
Looking for recs for my first foray into MC cartridges...
I am hoping to keep my budget around $500.
