Opinions greatly appreciated


Hello All,

I just recently purchased a creek obh 9 mc phono stage at my dads request for his turntable assembly. To his mistake he found out his shure v15 IV is a mm phono cartridge. He finds the sound bad which is no suprise. He is considering possibly replacing the cartridge or just selling the phono stage for the creek obh 8. Does anyone think it would be worthwhile or even possible to find a MC cartridge of better quality than the shure v15 IV for $75-$150 new. Or would it just be better to just get the mm phonostage.

Thanks in advance

sounds like a shure v15, current model, is the cartridge for the light mass dual arm....hard to beat the price and performance and it works well with a low mass arm
A Denon DL103 or DL103R would make a wonderful moving coil cartridge and the prices are just under 200 for the 103 and about 240 for the 103R. Both should work fine with your Creek MC preamp.

Only question is if they would work optimally with your tonearm.....
