Get a wood body Grado - which BTW is a moving iron (MI) cartridge with better design characteristics than MM cartridges.
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
I probably sound like a broken record (no pun intended) but I still haven’t pulled the trigger on the Hana MC cartridge. I have been considering a moving magnet cartridge instead and have been researching. I haven’t found many reviews of the better ones online except for users comments.
I have been looking at the Audio Technica cartridges, Goldring and Ortofon. I really wish I could find a Shure V15 or equivalent. To the users of moving magnet cartridges, can you help me out or steer me in the right direction?

I have been using 2 transfiguration MCs, but I just installed an Audio Note IQ3 and it sounds excellent. Some say it is a Goldring 1042, but it does have a different cantilever and diamond. I would say it’s worth looking into. I had a Goldring 1012 way back and it was very good as well. So I would recommend either the AN or the 1042. |
