I know this topic has probably been done to death, and I have searched around but I just end up confusing myself more!
Just picked up an SL1200 from a friend, and have temporarily borrowed an Ortofon OM10 out of my old deck which is getting sold. Even with this cheap cartridge, I'm quite happy with the sound! It's a little sibilant at times on vocals, so this is something I want to avoid.
Currently have my eye on the Audio Technica AT120E at Cartridge AT120E $ increase coming SOON! - AT120E.
I am open to other suggestions around this price range if there is something significantly better. I don't want anything which is overly analytical sounding, I want a nice fun involving sound but with reasonable detail. If it helps any, I have a Cambridge 540p as the phono stage, feeding into a NAD C320BEE.
Thanks everyone
