Hi,
I’ve recently acquired an LP12 with the above configuration which I will be using with stageline/hi-cap/272/XPS/250.2/Focal Diablo Utopia’s
I’ve haven’t bought a stageline yet as I’m not sure which cartridge to buy.
I can stretch to an MC but I don’t want to go crazy, please could someone make a few recommendations?
TIA
I use the modestly priced AT-OC9ML/II and a Stageline S on my Linn.
Welcome
I’ve mainly used Dynavector cartridges with my LP12 and I preferred the DV P75 phone stage to the Stageline with the DV cartridges…so worth bearing in mind if you go down the DV route
Hi spacecadet1, I have an lp12/black ittok lv 2 and use dynavector xx2 mk2 over the years I have owned dynavector dv20xh, dv17d2 & dv10x. all have a great sound to my ears.
A very nice and modestly priced high output MC is the Denon DL-110. I had one of them for a good while and actually preferred it to the DV 10x5 that replaced it despite the DV being over twice the price. You can pick up a Denon DL-110 for £180
An Ortofon Quintet Black works wonders on my LP12/Akito/Lingo 3.
I used a refurbed Troika when I had that rig - keep it classic!
another vote for Dynavector - will be on my third soon 10X 20X and moving to XX2, I find having demo vs other options DV punch above thier price point
I used 10X with Stageline worked superbly well
I think you might be getting me mixed up with somebody else, but for what it’s worth my phono stage is a Rega Aria. When I had the Denon cart it was with the integrated phono stage in the Musical Fidelity A1 amp I was using at the time
I put a Linn Krystal in similar deck about 9 months ago - amazing. Strongly recommend - synergy is a real thing!
Expert Stylus, Goldring and Van Den Hul all refurbish Troikas. They do turn up on Ebay.
All depends of which stageline you use: s, k, …
