The Plinius has both MM and MC. I've read some very good reviews of the Ortofon Vivo Red and price wise it slots in between the 2M Blue and 2M Bronze. My only concern is arm compatibility. Would the Vivo work in the Linn Basik?
I had set my heart on a moving coil and this one was within my budget and I also had to take into consideration the limitations of the Linn arm. After reading the favourable reviews on this cartridge, I felt this would be the ideal one providing it was a good match with the Linn arm.
