Good Afternoon
I have been very pleased with my Technics SL-1500C and have been using an Ortofon 2m Blue stylus in the 2m Red cartridge body since new. I find the Blue offers more clarity than the Red and have been happy to stick with that up until now, using teh phono amp in my Marantz rather than the one in the turntable.
I have been listening to various records on it all afternoon and have been enjoying it, although at times I think the Blue can be a little bright (mostly on poor recordings, to be fair) and is perhaps lacking in a little “heft” (weight?).
Can anyone recommend a different cartridge that will be an improvement on the Blue. ideally, I’d like more resolution with more weight to the sound, certainly nothing more bright than the Blue?
Many thanks
Peter
