Thanks everyone for the much needed advice. @oldaudiophile and @imnop I will try to research out the mofi cartridge further as it seems like an excellent possibility as well. Having no experience with the vintage Micro Seiki, I am finding it challenging to figure out what the best synergy between the turntable, tone arm, and preamp would be. I guess that is part of the journey I am on and looking forward to figuring out. @mickeyb the bl-91 is a beautiful table.
thanks again for the suggestions.
MM Cartridge recommendation
I am in the process of upgrading from my current project debut carbon(with acrylic platter and ortofon blue) to a vintage Micro Seiki DD-5. It will come with the stock tone arm and Micro H-303 headshell but no cart. I am looking for any recommendations for a MM cartridge sub $500? This turntable will be used with a Cronos Magnum III powering a pair of Triangle Acoustics Comete 40th anniversary speakers.
I was thinking of a Nagaoka MP150 or 200 but have no experience with cartridges other then the Ortofon 2m line so all suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
