Yes, you can outdo this cartridge by spending more than twice as much, but, nothing will touch it for the price of a replacement stylus. It all depends on what you expect from your analog setup. By the way Edle, I have seen references to this Denon cartridge before and you certainly have piqued my interest. Could you please tell us what other cartridges you have had experiences with that leave you so fond of the Denon?
Shure V15V cartridge. Worth investing in?
I have a old Shure V-15V cartridge that I bought many years ago and have not used for years. The stylus broke years ago and I retired it. My question is, is it worth investing over $100 in a new needle for this or should I purchase a new cartridge altogether? I have recently upgraded my entire 2 channel system and listen alot to my old jazz albums. I presently am using a mid grade ADC set-up that seems to sound fine. I am willing to invest the money if I'll hear a difference.
