Good all-round cartridge

[Thavess]

Hi,

What would be your recommendations for a good "all-round" (mainly classical, pop and rock music) cartridge for under £100?

Many thanks.

Would you need an MM or MC cartridge?

Thaves,

Seen in your other posts and your budget seems to come to £350 for CD player, Amp, and cartridge

had a look at prices for on the bay

marantz cd5005 £119.99 +£14.86 delivery charge (manufacturer refurbished)

marantz pm5005 £129.99 +£12.86 delivery charge (manufacturer refurbished)

ortofon 2m red cartridge £75.06 free delivery I've had this cartridge and it was brilliant (new)

total

£352.76

the CD player and amp are often sold bundled with the speakers you have and have good reviews

will have a look at others later and let you know

Hope this helps

What you should be looking for is a Shure M97xE.

I wouldn't touch a used 2M Red.

I see. However, in my opinion, it can still be better by the Shure as an all rounder and it's easier to set up.

rega carbon should be one of the best for under 50£
