Time for a new cartridge

Posted by Phil_S (A) on July 16, 2024 at 09:40:59

I've been running an AT VM540ML for the past year or so and want an upgrade. Budget is 500 or so. The table is an SL1200 MK3, Cardas wiring, KAB termination block, and a KAB Silicone dampening trough. This feeds a Van Alstine Vision p[hopno which can handle MM & MC cartridges.

I've been perusing the online vendors, LP Gear etc, and most manufactures have offerings at or close to my price point. There are a couple of standouts, The Vessel R3SV, Soundsmith Carmen, Ortophon 2M Bronze and the AT logical upgrade the AT740SH.
