MM cartridges


I recently picked up a used Merrill table and having an audiomods arm installed. I am interested in installing a MM cartridge only. My choices are Grado reference, Soundsmith Aida, or Decca London super gold. Has anyone tried these cartridges and can offer feedback?

+1 to Dover's post.

Of the cartridges you listed, the Aida or Grado Ref would be reasonable choices. I'd choose the Aida because I'm not fond of Grado's schmoozy warmth, but that's a matter of personal taste.

Decca London should not be on your list. On that tonearm it would likely give you fits.

The cart Andrew9405 mentioned is also an excellent choice that plays way above its price point. I've not heard any cartridge outplay it for less than $1500.
