For the money the Denon 103R can't be beat! I have one on my Pioneer PLX1000 TT. I use an SUT (Bellari) with it. Going up in price the Hana SL ($750) would be the next choice over the Ortofon - it has the superior Shibata stylus.
what cart for my Lenco L70?
I am the proud new owner of a minty Goldring Lenco L70. I paired it with an Audio Technical's 1005 II arm and I'm now looking for a good cartridge for it.
My top two choices right now are Denon 103R (tons of great reviews, would work well with my high mass tonearm) and the new Ortofon SPU #1 (would look amazing on my vintage table but don't know as much about it sonically, read some good reviews)
I have a nice SUT so very low output is ok but also open to MM options.
Looking in the price range of the above mentioned carts
thanks!
