Rega Bias 2 or Clearaudio Concept V2, MM


Which do you prefer, all other components ( amp, turntable, speakers, cables, etc) held constant ? Which one gives a fuller soundstage, tight bass that does not smother, cleaner highs without harshness, open mids that allow supporting or back row vocals or instruments to participate, better control of the low mids or upper bass -- the cello, tuba, French horn arena; all that nice stuff. I am not interested in opinions of other cartridges unless they are $300 or less, and easily obtainable.

Nagoka all the way the MP-150 specifically, . Gardo Gold will do what you want
but is bit grainy and rolled off in the top as Banejba said.
I think the Rega 2 is a very natural cartridge like most things Rega. I believe it gets a bad rap for just that reason,folks are used to a "hifi" sound and find a natural acoustic music sound "dull"
But they are hard to align on other tables and you can't replace the stylus which is a deal breaker to me.
