| Cartridge recommendations I'm unable to find a better cartridge than the 2M Black and I've been trying many cartridges for a long time now. It's the closest to analog tape sound. | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought Put me down in the acrylic camp. Record directly on the platter, no mat of any kind. The sound is significantly better than on any metallic platers, including aluminum. Acrylic produces a more richer and layered sound, with a wider and deeper soun... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Over the past few months, I've been hunting down several additional cartridges from the vintage list discussed here...

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? All Clearaudio MM cartridges are modified Audio Technicas in wood bodies. The new Mobile Fidelity MM cartridges are also Audio Technicas in special aluminum/plastic bodies.This is why I don't bother with them. If I want Audio Technica, I just get ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ortofon M20FL Super and B&O MMC2 to name a few. I've tried 100K, but do not prefer it. It makes the sound brighter, which is not what I like most of the time, but I can see it working in some cases. | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, I should have been more clear in my 2M Black praise. It's my absolute favorite MM from current production of cartridges.Nothing can touch ML170/180 or similar vintage MMs. But they are practically impossible to find for normal people. | |

| Lyra Delos Cartridge - Underrated? Ortofon 2M BlackOrtofon Quintet Black SAudio Technica AT-OC9 II/IIIAre all better IMO. | |
| Help me to choose turntable below 1600$. OP, the most expensive Rega table that you can afford is the correct answer. If you value correct full body sound. My favorite turntable at any price is the Michell Gyro SE however, with a Rega tonearm. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? From extensive experience, Ortofon 2M Black is without doubt the best sounding MM cartridge. Very few MC cartridges can rival it and they just give a somewhat alternate flavor, not necessarily a better sound. My favorite cartridges at any price ar... | |
