Cartridge for Planar 3

[admin_exported]

Have had current system for many years (Rega Planar 3/ RB300/ Nagaoka MP11 Boron - Nain Nait - KEF Q4 - Arcam Alpha 5). I would love to replace the sylus on the MP11 but the Boron version seems unavailable so I guess I need to source a new cartridge. Ive seen Ortofon and Goldring mentioned as good choices does anyone know if they get near to the Nagaoka for all round musicality ? If Ortofon and Goldring would be good choices which models in particuar ? Thanks for any opinions.

There is a supplier that recommends a replacement with the MP20

It is £180, but you'd probably spend as much for a Goldring or Ortofon.

The arm you have will handle any MM from those makes, the only limit being your budget. For example, an Ortofon 2M Blue is a bit cheaper, and the Bronze about £100 more.
