Hi Yawl !
I'm about to start a journey into vinyl and trying to understand some very basic questions about cartridges , tone-arms , platter and the subsequent drive mechanism .
I need to buy a cartridge for my 1200 mk 2 . I have DJ cartridges at present and realise that. although great for heavy duty use , they may not be the best for listening critically.
My budget to start is $200 . I will be using Pass Pearl 2 phono stage .
If you folks have the patience , I would like this thread to become a meaty reference , that would include technical info ,ie the difference between MC and MM , as well as your experiences of brand names and specific products .
Thanks all , Rich
