I recently purchased a Rega Planar 3 with RB300 that was fitted with a A&R p77 but the stylus is totally trashed and i cant afford getting a Jico SAS for it.
I have about £100 to spend at the absolute most and i have narrowed it down to either a Ortofon 2m red for £80 or a Shure M97XE for £70.
What would you guys recommend would go well with the Rega Planar 3 + RB300?
Im leaning towards the m97xe becuase i have read it has a more analog sound and the ortofon 2m red has a more digital sound.....
I also have never done this before so i want it to be easy...are any of them more difficult to set up? any of them built better? will i need to use spacers? sorry for all the questions
If it helps, my setup is
Im using a ART DJ II Preamp to NAD c372 with B&W 602 speakers or Grado sr225.
I listen to mostly rock , classical , jazz and some electronic music.
