A pitch too High!

What cartridge for a prime super scout 10.5 arm.? Budget $500
is there a reason besides cost that I should be looking at MM?Yes. One less amplification stage to get in the way of the music and more importantly, MCs at the lower price range are not necessarily any better than MMs. Curious, why not get another...

The Nags will give you what you want. You might also consider the Audio Technica VM750SH. I have one on a second system and it’s clear, detailed, and dynamic especially at low volume, and tracks perfectly with almost no vinyl noise.  
I did the right thing after all.

@lewm Yeah, same table, same phono cables. Of course, the difference is relatively subtle, but it's there. Anyhow, the 12" looks so much better. 😉
