Hi folks,
After a long hunt,finally could get hold of Garrard 301 in Very Good Condition.TT fitted with SME 3009 Tonearm,
SME headshell & Audio Technica AT3600 MM Catridge.
My Preamp has built-in phono section with separate MM & MC inputs. Will be playing 80s & 90s (mostly ILAYARAJA & few bollywood films) LP records.Though the existing entry level AT3600 catridge provides satisfactory resolution/details,would like to upgrade to higher end MM or MC Catridge.
Prefer to go for MC Catridge as the same retrieves better resolution/details than MM Catridge.
Since my usage is for playing old LP Records ( 80 to 90% condition),whether MC catridge would
extract/produce more noise than MM catridge? Looking forward to FMs valuable feedback.
Kindly suggest various Catridge options (From $200 to 350) suitable to use with SME 3009 Tonearm & headshell.
Thanks.
