I'd suggest the Ortofon Quintet Black, particularly since you almost only listen to classical music. It'll produce neutral detailed sound and falls within your budget. The Quintet Bronze (slightly less expensive) and Cadenza Red (a bit more expensive) probably won't match what you're looking for quite as much.
need cartridge suggestion
I am putting a system together and need some suggestions for a good moving coil cartridge for under $1500 (USD) to go with my Linn Sondek LP12 turntable with the Linn EKOS tonearm. My phono preamplifier is a Parasound Zphono XRM. I like listening to classical music almost exclusively. I have stacked Quad ESL 57 speakers driven by two tube monoblock ampliers and a tube preamplifier. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
