I need a new cartridge for my old LP12/Ittok. Any strong contenders around £250?
Have you had your Deck looked at in the last 20 years?The cartridge being replaced is an 20 year old AT OC5. When I mentioned my plan to my local dealer the immediate response was 'oh you need an OC9 then' Two things put me off, 1 too expensive, 2 has a reputation for being well lit, finely etched, or what used to be called bright. Curiously as I get older I am finding these properties harder to tolerate. Thanks for all the replies so far, very helpful, gives me somewhere to start looking.
OK MC for sensible price by the sound of it - not too bright.
What about this?
Juki is very reliable and generally gets things in under the vat radar.
+1 Nagaoka MP series, will work well with LP12/Ittok
Nagaoka will work very well on a RP3/RB300 (or later version) arm.
