Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200

I'm sure whichever you choose, you will be happy. Enjoy the journey!

Cheers,

Well Chakster, looks like you got "out opinioned."

Advantage>NAGAOKA!

Steve, 
Perfectly fine you have your own opinion. We all hear differently. Can be very system dependant too.

From my own experience, I owned  Soundsmith Boheme, $1k cart. The Nagaoka MP-200 I bought for $385 simply sounded way better than the Soundsmith. Also watched  YouTube video where a fellow who owned a small highend shop with many turntables at various price points did a controled, level matched comparison with Nagaoka against cartridges from Ortophon, Denon, Hana, and others which were higher priced than the Nagaoka's and each time he claimed the Nagaoka's as better. He used MP-110, MP-150, and MP-200.

Yes, you can claim it all subjective, but this fellow did his own research just as I did with my own comparison.

There is a gentleman, Chinese I think who runs a hifi shop. His YouTube name is hifivinylnews. He does a lot of cartridge comparisons and likes Nagaoka.

Steve, duly noted, your money, your ears, your choice. I have no problem with that.

@chakster 

Well comrade, while we are airing our "dirty laundry" I'm at least willing to give that gentleman the benefit of the doubt. I have done my own comparisons and have found the Nagaoka's to be of good quality if not Sota. You dismiss them as just do much junk.

I have used your so called recommendations such as Stanton 881S, and while they were good in their day I feel the Nagaoka's are better and what I remember of stylus wear, the Stanton's were certainly no better.

While you're at it Chakster, being a j__k isn't a good look for you. You are better than that. IMO.

I apologize for not knowing the ethnic backgrounds of Ian. Lord knows I have no intentions of being racist.
I was taken a back of Chakster's comments and called him out on it.

True to his nature, he was only interested in getting his point across. 

I don't think Ian would be the type to scam people, and Chakster's comments were totally uncalled for. 

Once again, if I made any racial comments or even racial profiled, I sincerely apologize as this wasn't my intention.

Favorite on line reviewer??? FYI, I have none. I've done my own comparisons albeit limited. Sorry I don't have the funds to own several turntables and dozens of carts and styli. 

Sounds like capitalism is alive and well in Russia.

For what it's worth Nagaoka has their MP-500, which has a line contact styli.
