I have had a ORTOFON VMS30MK2 for several years but never used.The cantilever has collapsed so am thinking about possibly replacing the stylus with a D30mk2 HS shibata stylus from Thakker eu.
The cost will be about 180 euros,my question is this ,I already have quite a few other cartridges that I frequently install on my Michell Transcriptors Reference with Hydraulic arm
AT 540ML,AT VM95SH,ORTOFON 540MK2, ORTOFON MC10SUPER, SHURE M97XE ,do you think the purchase of this stylus will offer something that my current cartridges don't. The turntable is connected to an Arcam r phono preamp and then to a Vincent sv-237mk amp with either kef ls50 meta speakers or Acoustic Energy AE500'S and a SVS PB2000 PRO subwoofer. I believe that the cartridge is a good match for my arm so am willing to invest if I can expect good results
Thanks
