If LOMC is an option, I'd also consider the Denon DL-301 MKII if you can find one. I recently bought one on ebay for $250. It's what's currently on my SL1200 MK 2. Sounds great with all types of music.
MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side
Hello,
I will be getting a Parasound Hint 6 integrated which has an MM phono stage.Speakers will be either ATC SCM 40 or JBL 4312G
Most of my music is on the heavier side, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc. I do listen to a good amount of Jazz and a wee bit of classical.
TT : modified Technics 1200 wtih cardas wiring,silicon damper trough and external power supply.
Budget for MM cartride is about $400
The characteristics i enjoy are tight slamming bass, rimshots that can kill and crunchy guitars. Projecting tight drum sound and full rounded bass guitar are important.
I am not seeking lush airy vocals etc. I want solid sound, I want the music to punch me in the gut. I want to feel the music.
Please float suggestions.
thanks
