The Grado Companion to be exact. There is some hum, but it is not terrible. Not enough for me to mind it, but if you are fussy that way it probably wouldn't be the cart for you. I've also had an Ortofon Red, Denon 103R and ADC XLM (I forget which Mk is which but the one with the lower compliance). So far my favs are the 103R and the ADC, although I bet a higher caliber Ortofon would really compete too. If I had the cash I would get the Ortofon black.

Actually, the stylus is the same on the 150 and 200. - Opus 33 1/3 06:50:19 06/29/15 (0)

My MP-150 was just a tad bright until I swapped out ICs from custom Cardas to SW. /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 06:08:48 06/27/15 (3)
