Most impresssed!I bought this a couple of weeks ago to replace an ageing original Stanton cartridge probably 20 years old. Seriously you can’t compare the two, the frequency response and the “openness” of the sound is like the difference between black and white.

Noticeably improved sound over the stock cartridgeI did quite a bit of research on upgrading the cartridge on my Denon DP300F turntable and this cartridge got consistently good reviews. Decent upgrade without getting too expensive. The difference is immediately appreciable. Clearer, crisper sound.

Great service from Steven in GlasgowSteven helped me order a cartridge replacement/upgrade.
Steven explained a few alternatives and I felt he gave me plenty of his time and expertise.
The package arrived a day earlier than predicted.
Brilliant service over the phone.
The 2M Red cartridge is a worthwhile upgrade on the stock cartridge in my AT LP5.
Thank you.
