Ortofon M-2000 MKiI

Dear Mariusz: This one is a modified ( for higher output ) MC 2000 that I own and that till today is a reference performance cartridge ( specially in the high frequency range ) if you have the right Phonolinepreamp because its very very low output.

The MC 2000 MK2 has almost the same quality performance ( high one ) but with a higher output that still is a very low one, that's why they offer along its own step up transformer. At that price it is a bargain if the cartridge is in good operation condition.

These ones could be good choices for a tonearm:

Now, for you can really achieve the real quality performance of that cartridge you need a good active high gain Phonolinepreamp ( wwith out using step up transformers that make a signal degradation. )

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Mariusz: Here are two very good retipping sources:

About your phono stage it seems to me that could help you. Anyway you will have the T-2000 if you think you need it.

Regards and enjoy the music.
