New, a Goldring 1042 GX, Garrot Bros P77 and Nagaoka MP300. I had a Nagaoka MP11 years ago which i liked. Used and what i suppose is classed as vintage, a couple of Signets, a TK5E and M55(?), some cheap Audio Technicas whos nomenclature escapes me which i believe might have been Signets anyway and finally an Empire 600 something. Each one was fine in that they tracked well, had plenty of midrange warmth and enjoyment but none of the fine detail and air that i've had from an Ortofon Jubilee, Cadenza Black, VdH MC10 Special, Phase Tech P-3. That lack of detail especially is what i miss the most and for me is important in a cartridge.
About the only mm's/mi's I'm aware of that are in the same monetary ballpark are the top echelon Grado's and Soundsmith's, which apparently you haven't tried.
Anyway, to each his own. I was just curious. Thanks.
But then again i've not seen a MM that costs as much as either of the Ortofons. I had a Denon DL 304 too which i really enjoyed and that was pretty much on par with the MP300 price wise and i liked the Denon far more. I can certainly see the advantages of using a MM but the drawbacks in the ones i've listened to spoil the listening pleasure for me. I certainly wouldn't use a cheap high output MC rather than MM as i dislike the couple of those i've owned greatly.
