I second the recommendation of the Denon Dl-S1; if you have a phono stage that can handle its low output, there are few, if any, cartridges in the sub $1500 range that can compete with it.
new cart 600.00 and under
hello fellow analog lovers. A friend is picking up a VPI scout and wants a cart 600.00 and under. So far the choices are, Denon, Dynavector, and clear Audio. He does not have much experience so any suggestions would be very helpful. any clear winners among this bunch? Are there any others he should consider? Thanks
