The RIGHT cartridge for the P3/24 with the RB301 tone arm is the Dynavector 10X5 ($450). This is a match made in heaven. Through much trial and error I have found this to be a awesome match. The Dynavector is a high output MC (2.5mv) and will work with many MM phono stages. I recommend a separate phono preamp from Musical Surroundings, if you need one.
Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red???
I am trying to find the right cartridge for a Rega P3-24 turntable. Ortofon offers several choices in both MM and MC
The 2M Bronze is at the upper end of that MM series.($499)
There is a new low output MC, The "Quintet Red" reasonably priced at 299.00
Last the Ortofon Red Vivo (high output at mV 3.5) retails for approx. $350.00 and may be discontinued
This is small but confusing spread of phono cartridges. Has anyone had experience with one or all of the above mentioned in terms of overall sound quality. Thank you!!
