What Cartridge Would Make the Best Match?

Guys,

I believe the EAR 834p is available in MM-only or MC + MM versions. Which does he have? If it's the MC version, how much gain does it provide.

Don't we need to know that before tossing out cartridge recommendations?

Let me know if I'm all wet.

Dan_Ed,
Thanks for the info. If your research is correct, the best approach would be to pretend Dsc's 834P is the MM version, even if it isn't. :-)

Given that, for a $750 budget on an RB-300 how about a Shelter 501 ($500) + K&K stepups ($225) + Twl's HIFI Mod ($25-ish) + Paul's VTF-on-the-fly mod (free)?

The Shelter is a better compliance match than the Shure, it has more output than the Denon and great sonics for his music preferences.

What a stupid post. Shelter 501 for $500? What am I smoking?

Whatever, it's great stuff! The Shelter I mean. Hey, it's only $300 over budget. Who needs lunches?
