Matty74 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Can anyone give me some recommendations for a cartridge for my 9.2 Rpm, I'm thinking a OM2 Black, I listen to mainly rock/pop etc.. I'm running Naim Cute and Nap 100 through Kef R300 speakers and nordost red dawn inter-connects and speaker cables, with a Musical Fiedlity M1vniyl phono pre amp. Edited October 13, 2014 by Matty74
Dolphy Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Nice upgrade......I'll following this post to steal some suggestions.
Hitek Audio Video Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) This page has some 24/96 downloads of rips with different cartridges. If you search for the second part or the follow up, it will let you know which cartridge is which. After hearing the 2M black, I'm strongly considering it as a viable replacement for my Clearaudio Virtuoso. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/nine-cartridge-survey-produces-audible-results Edited October 13, 2014 by Hitek Audio Video 2
Hitek Audio Video Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I should also point out that I have KEF R500s myself.
Matty74 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for the link interesting read, I'm quite fond of the R series myself. 1
Hitek Audio Video Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I agree, I'm all about value for money, and I feel as though for what you pay, the performance they deliver is excellent. Let me know how you go with the cartridge hunt!

I'm running the big sister 10.1 with a 2m black given the 9.2 uses same carbon arm suggest it would be a good match, sounds great on my TT
Matty74 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Yes my thinking is pointing in that direction another member suggested a Ortofon rohmann MC he had for sale I've never heard one of of these not sure how it compares with the 2M Black

Think the reviews stand to reason the black is one of, if not the best MM on market and it is forgiving with setup
