Be bold, and cheap. Try a Shure 97. I know, I know, how can something so cheap sound so good. Well it does and it makes a great replacement while you are looking for another cartridge.
WHAT CARTRIDGE FOR CLEARAUDIO EMOTION?
Im looking to experiment with some cartridges for my clearaudio emotion cmb/satisfy. i just got back into the analog thing with this table. as of now its got a goldring erotica. im looking for an investment of $500-$1000. im currently considering the following:
denon 103/r - with a wood body (various including soundsmith)
soundsmith carmen
clearaudio virtuoso
or sending the goldring for a soundsmith retip
following the source, system is:
vtl 2.5 w/ phono mm/mc
vtl st-85
snell type D
mapleshade wire throughout
herbies tube dampers Rx all over mapleshade tube anchors for phono
GE 12ax7 for phono - WOW! (a dude down stairs through away an old werlitzer organ and i went and took the tubes!)
