When it comes to cartridges, maybe especially with cartridges, there seems to be a wide array of opinions on which cartridge sounds "best" for a given price range. Goldring cartridges do not seem to be in high regard with many of the regular contributors; Denon's, for example, are often recommended. But if you do a search you'll find many others that do enjoy the Goldring sound, myself included. Hence my two bits of opinion.My advice would be to follow the advice of both hifitommy and Henry; if you get the mmf-5 give the 1012GX an honest audition before getting rid of it. It's a good cartridge and with that Pro-Ject tonearm, when that Gyger stylus is properly aligned, it's very quiet, tracks well without sibilance or inner groove distortion, and provides a good balanced sound. If that's what you're looking for. If not, then you can later try something else.
The NeedleDoctor has one of the best selections of Goldring cartridges and replacement styli.
