Hi all.
I have a Garrard 401 and SME 3012 in a custom plinth with a Shure V15MkII cartridge.
Sound quality is excellent except that I find the Shure a little bass shy.
I have several other cartridges but none are as good as the V15.. I've tried Audio Technica AT95e, ADC QLM30 MkIII, Ortofon F15e, Shure M75-6 and Shure M75EJ.
The AT95e has the extended bass that I'm missing with the V15 but it's nowhere near as good as the V15 in other respects.
I also have a Shure M97HE but no stylus.. just the body.
Any cartridge suggestions are welcome.. is it worth getting a stylus for the M97 or is the V15 II a better cartridge already.
Should I look for a V15MkIII rather than the II??
