Those are some interesting suggestions, To be honest I hadn't heard of Hana or Sumiko before.
What phono cartridge is suited for metal and heavy rock?
I want to purchase a new phono cartridge to replace my Ortofon 2m Blue. Since I'm not an expert by any means, I could do with some advice.
My musical taste is on the heavier side, I mainly listen to stonerrock, metal and 70's rock.
My turntable is a Pro-Ject Perspective. I use a Musical Fidelity M1 LPS phono Preamp which is connected to a Marantz AV 8801 Preamp. My amplifier is a Marantz MM7055.
The sound of the Blue is a bit bright, maybe somewhat dull, for my taste. But since there are so many brands and models to choose from some help would be appreciated.
