My stylus is due for replacement and I'm toying with trying a different cartridge. It's a bit of a mine field but I thought I'd like to try an MC cart but clearly with my table there's no point spending big bucks. I understand that the table has no VTA adjustment and so I believe it is optimised for the 18mm height of the 2M cartridge it comes with.
I was thinking of changing for the Dynavector DV10x5 which is 18.8mm but additionally I have changed the platter from a steel platter with a mat to an Acrylic platter with no mat.
My three questions are:
does the DV sound like a sensible replacement for a 2M Blue?
does the geometry sound like it would work without any height adjustment?
do I run the DV on MM or MC setting on the phono stage (I understand its output is 2.5mV so I assume MM)?
Thanks.
