Moving Magnet Cartridge Recommendations For Thorens TD 124 & SME V Tonearm


I have been far removed from the Moving Magnet Cartridge scene for some time now. I am kicking around the idea in having a stored Thorens TD 124 rebuilt/serviced and also installing an SME V Tonearm.

Are there current and new Moving Magnet Cartridges that would mate well and or recommended with this Combo?

My first TT was a TD 124 with an ADC Pritchard Tonearm I bought used at the Audio Lab in Harvard Square (RIP) I was 13.
Anyway, you bet the Clearudio Charisma V2 followed by the Ortofon 2M Black. The Clearaudio is the better cartridge but the Ortofon is a much better value. You certainly do not have to go full blown for the SME V. The 309 will do just fine for either cartridge.

Go for it!
