Which Vintage Turntable & Which Vintage Cartridge for the turntable?

I recently added an old Shure V-15 Type V (with new stylus) cartridge to my Garrard 401/Dynavector 501 arm/turntable configuration, with new pivot bearing in the Garrard 401 turntable.

The sound is magnificent, the best I have experienced in over 50 years,  (though on a blue-collar budget) at this. I've not had a Shure M97XS, but I've heard they are very good cartridges. I also have an AT-ART9 MC, but on this arm the AT can't compete with the old Shure cartridge.

I've never been, or been considered to be, an analog expert, just a purveyor of analog. It's just something to really enjoy  at my age.

As far as which turntable is the best, I have absolutely no clue. Perhaps someone who is knowledgeable will provide the answer you need, I just wanted to tell you of my positive experience with my Shure cartridge.

Best regards,

Dan

The AT-OC9 is exceptional. Definitely hang on to it. Easily as good as DL110. But it is moving coil, so you'll need either a Step Up Transformer or a phono stage that offers MC settings.

Both TTs are general entry level grade but decent. I would just set both up and decide which sound you prefer. I think 5520 looks better :)
