Turntable Cartridge upgrade question.


Hi guys

 

I currently run Ortofon 2M Black cartridge that is MM type. 

what would be step up to MC type cartridges in price range $1200 that would be way better than 2M Black ?

 

Thank you for input ahead!

I had and really enjoyed the 2M black.  I upgraded to an Audio Technica ART9 and was blown away how clean, colorful, bassy and dynamic it was compared to the 2M.

At the time it was $1100 but now the prices are higher.  If you can stretch your budget a little the ART9XI is a big winner.
