Morning hifi-ers,
My dilemma is this - I have a pretty comprehensive Roksan setup which I’m delighted with. I’m currently thinking of upgrading my Systemdek turntable (circa 1990) so I’d like an idea of just how good the phono stage is - or could be - with a better arm and cartridge.
So far I’m considering the Origin Live Onyx arm and a Goldring 1042 cartridge, both seem very highly rated so if I were to go that route I’ve no doubt I’d be happy with the results. However, were I to opt for an MC cartridge (which I’ve never used and know nothing about), I would need a separate phono stage and cartridge, both of which I’d need plentiful advice on. I’ve been looking at the Goldring 2300 series cartridges with this in mind.
So, over to you guys - what are your thoughts?
