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
Jag

Dear @jagjag : Your Parasound can handle this MC and you can't go wrong with: https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/cartridges/8e67b15a2a48de4e/index.html thios is a great performer with nude square shank Microline stylus ina gold boron plated cantilever. You can ask for more and today AT cartridges are a warranty of very good quality performance.. If you want a MM cartridge then Nagaoka is one of the best today cartridges out there, you can buy with confidence Nagaoka that's a very all very well regarded cartridge design manufacturer and even they makes cartridges for other companies. Forgeret about Pickering/Stanton or even AT vintage ones that comes with no warranty or today re-tipping facilities. @uberwaltz : """ You need move out of the vintage era sometimes and see what else there is out here...""" I can see that still today you don't take in count that he is a sellers and nothing more than that. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
