I'm getting a little spending money, and as it won't be enough to upgrade either my amp or speakers, I'm going to treat the TT to something new.
My problem is I'm not sure what.... Ortofon are doing the blue stylus for £100. It's the logical next step for me, and although I know it's not popular in these parts, I've been happy with the 2M Red.
The other option is that I've seen the Nagaoka MP110 for around £110, and I know that one is a popular cart round here..... how is it different to the Ortofon? Would it be easy to set up myself (as I refuse to pay a dealer to set up a cart, and the dealer that sold me the Ortofon and set it up doesn't sell Nagaoka)?
Or, do I "find" some extra money and buy the Rega TT PSU? Again, the question is what kind of difference would it make? Is it actually compatible with my TT? How would I tell... etc etc.
OR (!) bearing in mind my budget, is there another upgrade that might be better value for money?
As ever, thanks in advance for any input....
