@noromance +1 . I have the Audio Technica VM750SH with Fluance RT85. Great combo! Also agree with break-in time. Little on the shrill side in the beginning.
Need Cartridge Recommendation for Fluance RT85 Turntable
Hi all. This turntable comes with Ortofon 2M Blue MM. I accidentally let the tonearm drop and the diamond tip came off. Wow! I have a MAC7200 which has both MC and MM inputs. I'm not that experienced with phono cartridges. My budget is about $400. The RT85 has a maximum cartridge mass of 7.5g and tracking force range 1.6 - 2.0 grams. Should I go MC? Should I go with another MM? What are my best options?
A replacement Blue stylus is $160. I could upgrade to Ortofon Bronze for about $400 - or go with another cartridge manufacturer. What do you recommend? Also, what are good sources to buy cartridge/stylus? Thank you very much.
I will be more careful in handling my tonearm in the future:).
