Hi,
Just replaced my technics sl221 with Thorens TD-166-MKII that came with Grado Prestige Red cartridge + ortofon 2m red.
I really don't satisfied from the sound...i listened it while it haf a different cart.
First of all: what kind of cartridge suites this arm?
Secondly: I would love to have a recommendations for a good budget cartridges for that model.
Up to 100$ / 85 eur / 75 gbp.
Thank you

Hi,
Current cart is Grado Prestige Red
combined with Ortofon 2M Red.
Yesterday I discovered that the 2M Red is completely gone.
I replaced to Orto OM5e (cart+needle)
I read and also heard that the OM5e & OM10 head = same thing, just different name.
There is A different between the needles...OM10 better.
I will check for OM20 cost.
Thank you
