- The Hana 1200 cartridges are outstanding for the money. I'd also say that while the Schiit mani 2 is a great phono stage for the money, you’re going to want to upgrade that at some point as well. I ran a Hana ml1200 with a music surroundings nova iii for some time and thought that was a stellar combo for the price. My point is really that at some level, your limiting factor is going to be the phono stage. And I like Schiit a lot. Have a dac from them as well as a headphone amp. And for what you’re currently running, the mani is great, but you’ll definitely want to make a change there at some point
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!
