I needed a classic shaped phono cartridge for my 1970 Thorens TD150 mk2 turntable. Due to the head shell design I needed a classic shaped cartridge as it does not facilitate top screw mounting which many modern cartridges are...... this cartridge fitted the bill and also had the modern elliptical shaped diamond and was under £82. It did need me to buy 2 longer M2 x 8mm screws to fit the throen headshell but only cost £1.20 extra......It sounds excellent, all instruments are picked out with beautiful detail and clarity. The midrange is musically pleasing. The bass improved. And the treble is for more detailed. It has transformed my vinyl listening. As my last two cartridges (Shure M75ED and Ortofon FF15E) from the early eighties are a bit long in the tooth and flat sounding now and well overdue replacing! I throughly recomend this cartridge especially for this price. Don't be put off by its classic looks (though in my case this is what i was looking for) it sounds amazing and I'm still running it in. (Should take 30 hours listening). It handles classic, rock and jazz well. In fact it handles anything you wish to play no matter what the style with a musically detailed finesse that is very pleasing to the ear. Especially through my Marantz 6002. Can't recomended enough especially at this price!Read full review
