I need some sound advice

I've got the upgrade itch. Presently, I have a Music Hall MMF-9 that I really enjoy but want a bit more. I do like it because I don't like to fiddle with things. Would a change in cartridge be a good bet ( if so, any thoughts) or would i need to start over with a new rig? ARC SP-16 pre, ARC 150.2 amp, LM Labs 926 Electra speakers.

Thanks,

John

I'd have to agree with Dewald here, try a Sumiko Blackbird. It's a very nice, musical cartridge with a high enough output (2.5 mV) that should work well with your ARC SP-16.

Good luck,

John

Thanks again. I think I've narrowed it down to the Blackbird and the Dynevector 20 H. Any thoughts between these two??

Two very nice choices, you really cannot go wrong with either. I would think the Blackbird would be just a tad sweeter, while the Dynavector would be just a little more transparent. Your choice.
