Crash, so, care to impart any wisdom on what to do about cartridges? Replacing (or considering it anyway) the Ortofon OM5e on my Debut III. I don't hate it but the bug to improve is there.
I'm having my record shop look up the price they can offer on an Ortofon 2M Blue but I'm not necessarily sure about Ortofon. I'm running the stock aluminum arm, acrylic platter, Speed Box, stock (fixed) cables. My loading will be 47K, 100pF cap, 40dB of gain.
I know this is at the limit of what is worth putting on my tone arm, but considering replacing the arm with one from an Xpression and who know, I might replace the TT some day, too. Also have my eye on a Super OM10 (the only Super OM they still make, although you can still get OM20/30/40 stylus so it would be a body purchase mainly), Grado Prestige (probably Silver1). Anything else I might consider?
