New Cartridge Time


Ready for a new cartridge. My phono stage is a Manley Chinook. I am currently using a Denon dl 103r. I am interested in either a Charisma 103 mc, or a Grado Sonata 3 mm. Any thoughts.
 Thanks

Thanks, I don’t understand. Give me some suggestions for the Rega RB 330 tone arm that would match well in the $750.00 range.

Ok, SONY XL-50 with Boron Pipe cantilever and Hyper-Elliptical stylus tip.
Excellent MM cartridge if you can find NOS sample with genuine stylus.
It was one of a few top MM from SONY in the 80’s.

You can also look for new mid compliance Garrott P77i (price in AUD), this is stunning latest version of the legendary P77 from Garrott Brothers. 


goldring mm is a great one. but suites medium mass. quite difficult to setup. 

rega a bit tough to setup vta. maybe look at otello? by ss


Thanks for all the responses. I ended up with a Dynavector 10x5 MK ll
Really enjoying it, tighten up the base and added a subtle amount of top end.
Ordered it on a Friday morning from Music Direct, and it was delivered and installed on Saturday.
