New Clearaudio Concept Owner. Looking for Cart?

I have an older Clearaduio Emotion and I'm using the Grado Sonata 1 reference ($600) and I've found it to be a good match, as long as your system isn't overly laid back. It has great soundstage, and great resolution of tone and timbre. Definitely a more romantic sound but extremely enjoyable to my ears.

I agree with fossda. The 2M Black is an awesome cartridge With the shibata tip(this is at the top of the scale for sure). Also, I would consider the Nagaoka MP300 it is sold by Needle Doctor. I listen to classic rock and Jazz, I have the MP200 and I love it on my Rega.I also think the Dynavector is a great choice. You will be happy with any of these. Good Spinning!

At that price you might want to consider a MM-one of 2 options: Ortofon 2M Black or Clearudio Arum Wood. Both excellent an may outperform similar priced MC. Buddy has a new 2M on his Concept and he loves it running through phonstage on McIntosh integrated.
