IF YOU CAN SKIP THE DV 10/5 GET THE DV 20. IT WILL LAST MORE THAN TWICE AS LONG.
MC Cartridge Recommendations for refurbished/upgraded Linn LP12 w/ Ittok arm
My budget is under $1k
Two suggestions from dealers so far have been the Dynavector 10x5 and the Hana Shibata, (low or high output.) My preamp can handle pretty much anything. Sturdiness and durability is a priority. For example, many years ago I had an expensive cult fave Goldbug Briar which sounded great, especially with strings, but the stylus assembly was tragically fragile.
Thanks for your thoughts.
