I have the Goldring Ethos SE MC. It is an amazing cart. Very musical, and bold. I have a Audiomods Series 6 tone arm on a Marantz/ Clear audio Turntable.
MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$
Hello friends! This topic appears once in a few years, the last one similar (but lower budget) was three years ago so it's time!
I have Sumiko Amethyst MM Cartridge on my Clearaudio Concept (basic) turnable and I want to try MC now and to bring the level & cost of cartridge into line with my stereo system. My budget is up to 1600$. So everybody oddly enough says the best option is Concept MC. Of course. But I would like to explore some other options because there are several interesting models in this price range with very similar tech. specs and that will also suite fine my tonearm with effective mass 9g. Here's the list:
- Concept MC Signature
- Dynavector DV-XX2 MKII
- Hana ML
- Goldring Ethos MC
- Goldring Ethos SE MC
I wonder if anyone has expierence with any of these cartridges to tell something about it's character, sound signature, musicality, accuracy. Will be great if in compareson with Concept MC.
I listen (sometimes with my wife) to music from Billie Ilish to Pantera, from Portishead to Darkthrone, from Cypress Hill to Cannibal Corpse, even from Gabber to Sludge. Sometimes sad and romantic, sometimes evil. But very emotional like me. My phonostage is Hegel V10. Thanks for help
