Cartridge for Michell Tecnodec with a Rega RB300

[Algar_emi]

Hi. I just bought a Michell Tecnodec with a Rega RB300 tonearm. I would like to know what cartridge you would recommend for this table/arm combo.

I was looking at the Dynavector 10X5 or the Sumiko Blue Point Special Evo III.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

I have heard the 10x5 on a rega 3 I used to own and was not a huge fan.... A little lean and not special compared to my Karma.

I have just received my denon dl103 and it is on my linn axis / akito and I really like it. It is cheap!! It is a low output mc so you need a pre capable of doing this...

The highest highs are not quite there and microdynamics are not its forte but it tracks well has lovely tone punch and enthusiasm and really is a bargain.

I like it more then the 10x5 by far and does many things better then the Karma. I need to stick some forward sounding cables on my phono pre and I am sure that will lift the high frequencies a little.

The review on the 10X5 sounds like it should be a winner.

Thanks for your comment. I already own a Denon DL-110 and I'm not to found of its sound, too lean, but it is mounted on my Kyocera table, not my new Tecnodec. VTA was not adjustable on the Kyocera and this cartridge never sound great maybe because of that.

I may give it a try.

Is the DL103 still available or we need to get it from ebay?

Bye...

www.audiocubes.com has the 103. I almost bought it, or the 103R from them, or their other site, audiocubesII.

I ended up buying a dynavector 20-xl, I think I got a good deal, from a guy on audiogon.

Someone from europe also sells them on ebay, and these guys are in canada, and had a good price
