Cartridge recs for a budget/vintage table

[E-Stat]

I would also look into the Ortofon OM series. It's one of the most versatile cartridges out there because of its upgradability and high compliance.

Interesting approach by allowing access to better styli. I've had a couple of Ortofons over the years (first an M15E back in '74) and was very pleased with them. I'ld like to hear a comparison between my current Dynavector and one of the Kontrapunks.

I owned one Grado and never took a liking to it.

I owned one Grado and never took a liking to it.

My first Grado was a Red, used on a music hall mmf-5. i got the hum there, and did not like the cart much at all. I then used it on ariston deck i had for a while, and it was much better. Much later, I tried the black on the Technics, and it was great. Its all compatibility I guess.
