Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic?


I just rediscovered vinyl because of this table, now I would like to try an mm cartridge for this tt and 10.5i tonearm. What would work best? Looking for a lasting purchase.

Doubtful you could make a mistake buying a new Clearaudio MM Cartridge in your price range. They are known, and said to be very fine Cartridges.

There is the small possibility, even with a HO MC, that you may be yearning for more gain in your phono stage. Generally, if it is a MM Stage, the MM Cartridge will be a safe bet.

As Bill Feil once said here, that he'd rather place a pretty decent cartridge on a world class table-arm, rather than place a world class cartridge on a half way decent table-arm, and I believe there is much truth-logic in that reasoning. Mark
Hello Raul my friend.
Maybe this might be a good time, for some distinguishing of what would be some the HOMC Cartidges, and what isn't?

As far as I used to remember, fine Cartridges like the High Output Benz Glider were actually Moving Iron.

What would be the "inferior" (In your opinion) HOMC's? The Sumiko Blue Point? And what else? Mark
