Enjoying vinyl enough to justify a cart upgrade, currently using an Ortofon VMS20 II into a Lehman Black Cube SE which has great versatility and sounds great to my ears.
So bearing in mind the budget what should I be looking at? Arm is a 3009 S2 Improved so I presume something light and compliant is the order of the day.
How do the Ortofon MCs stack up in this price range? Some of the Denons are well in budget also but no idea how one sounds, not been mad keen on Dyna carts previously, any AT carts fit the bill? apart from that I'm open to suggestions, not into an overly warm/ploddy presentation that some consider "analogue sounding".
