I have used several cartridges and the MP-110 is more forgiving on order records and doesn't skip on slightly scratched records like other cartridges I have used. Also it does have a full sound and for those on a budget, it is the best bang for the buck.

Why you are comparing cartridges on such mediocre recorded LPs ?

Can I add blu-tek to add mass on the tone arm to match low compliance cartridge?

Unfortunately, the Behringer is out of order. Is there any alternative, please?

Sir, is AT VMN95ebk cartridge easily install in the Replace old AT VM95e old stylus ,pls. Give suggestions

Great comparison. I preferred the Blue. It was clearer without being over bright. By comparison the MP sounded muffled and dull. If the Blue is properly aligned it tracks fine.

I've always liked the om series, I've heard a few of the 2M series but in my opinion it doesn't get good until you go to the blue and it doesn't truly get exceptional until you get it to the orange and of course the black. At this price level, under $100, I would almost always choose the om series because of it's more easy going nature and more peaceable demeanor. Plus as others have noted replacement stylus are cheaper and easier to do as well. The only real advantage at this level of going with red in my opinion is the fact that it would be slightly easier to install and align properly because of its square edges.

Thank you. Of course, I now have a couple of new fears of my own!

All i hear is the youtube compression algorithm.

PP400

This ignores the effect of possible left-groove record wear with no or reduced anti-skating!

Audiorpheus What would you recommend out of the Ortofon 2M Red & VM95EN - Elliptical Nude stereo cartridge?

Κακή ποιότητα ήχου

Thanks for the awesome demo. The difference is very subtle.

Hifi people are the biggest suckers

As a stylus retiper i really recommend Nagoaka Mp110❤

The carbon is basically an ATN91, in my opinion this cartridge sounds a lot like the old Shure cartridges of the 70’s, warm, full and lush, not the last word in detail or treble extension, but it’s a cartridge that will play anything well and you can listen to for hours. In my opinion it is a great hidden gem and be careful what you wish for! If you want to “upgrade” maybe try the LP Gear Elliptical stylus for a little more top end detail, but I’ve never tried it because I like the warmth and low noise of the conical ATN91.

One of the best, if not the best comparison videos I've seen on KZfaq. Great job. Thanks for the painstaking effort this must have taken.

At first I could not hear the difference having my cheap headset to listen to the sound, then it switched from cork back to bare and I was like hell yeah I can hear it right away. I'm very surprised I could hear the transition back to bare so easily.

Shit vs Shit

Humpty Dumpty was my favourite jam, too! 😂

This is crazy ... I set up my denon receiver to stereo and put my bass at a modest setting.. using psb speakers ... While I'm not sure what quality this KZfaq recording is at, I played this at -25 db with expectations that I would like the Naga based on what I heard others say (bass, body warmth, smooth). Thank you for this .. do more with other cartridges. I'm sure you can get the companies to sponsor your tests.

nagaoka 200hr vs ortofon 1000hr, i prefer sound and lifetime in ortofon.

Here's a top tip. Get rid of the ' mickey mouse' standard set of metal screws and nuts and replace them with high quality allen bolts and nuts. Makes a big improvement to sound quality whichever cartridge you use!

Excellent video! Thankyou

AT95E for me.

Very Nice but this is Nothing new to the electronics "Branding Factories" There's a Multitude of Hi-Fi products produced in the same assembly plants with exact components yet have different names on them & sell for hundreds more. I'm not going to call them out by name but this has been going on since the 1990s. The words "Made in China" may ring a bell.

AWESOME

This kind of hard to put but i got in now 😂😂

No one talk about extra weight affecting speed on direct drive, wear on motor, premature wear on belt drive models. Maybe I'm just to old school

The 2M Red sounds a tad louder and more forward than the Grado, but that may only be due to the higher output voltage of the Red. The Grado is more laid back, but has a great sound.

Upgrading the power supply on the DJ pre will make it better than the project

AT3600L is the Rega Carbon. I like the 2M Red much more. Better details and low end.

does the music change with the cartridge?

Yup just ran into this, pl-518 & new audio technica headshell was causing tonearm drift opon dropping the cue arm before hitting the groove it was drifting toward arm rest. Had to change cart to pioneer oem headshell and wires did exactly this! Used the old pioneer ones was seriously not ideal.

I agree with your summary. I find the thing difficult to squeeze slowly and uncomfortable in hand. 99% of the time: I spray a mist of distilled water onto a clean photography lens cleaning microfiber cloth. With the record spinning, I float the cloth over the record to pick up dust. Works pretty well. When I remove a record from the platter, I hold the edges of the record and put my thumb on the center spindle to discharge static electricity for a second or two then slowly remove the record. Voodoo, well maybe.

Shipping a used turntable is a disaster in the making. Save up and buy a good NEW first turntable that you will keep for your entire life. You will like it more and you will save money. I like Technics turntables for their build quality and versatility. Buying USED might be okay if you buy the turntable from someone you know and can transport it home safely yourself. Thank you for posting this.

Not to mention the sweatshops these products likely come out of.

One with real 24K golf plated connectors, the other with gold lookalike plated connectors, one with selected caps, the other with rejected caps, if it helps to make you feel better😂

Too similar

The blue has more presence, but without a side by side comparison I doubt if I'd tell the difference, especially when you're just listening and enjoying, and not analysing

What song is this that sounds like Tom yorke? Radiohead?

TCC is clear, stronger by transparence like good Monitoring.

I use Fiio K7 connected to my turntable , It's a good sound quallity but the volume knob is almost at max point. do you think getting an external pre-amp and integrating it between the Fiio and turntable would provide better results? Thank you!

En mi AT-LP3, cambié a VM95-E, es sorprendente la claridad y cristalinidad del audio mejorado. Felicidades Audio-technica y gracias!

I have a at95ml and a nagoka mp 110 and the at 95ml is a lot better especially on igd and surface noise and you can just upgrade your stylus

The felt by Miles

I think the key elements are the stylus and the interface, you can save money in the rest. However if your vinyl is not from a pre-digital in studios era then there is no point in ripping them from vinyl, just get the music in CD and rip the CD if you can't find them in wav, CDs are superior format to vinyl. Because since the 1980s Vinyl was produced in studios with digital equipment and that is what went into the master to make all the copies sold to the public, so there is no point in ripping them from vinyl, just find them in an uncompressed or lossless compression format, and really save them in wav, there is no point in saving them in flac or any other lossless compression because storage is pretty cheap and when you play them well the decompression will produce small electrical noise, unless you are using a mobile apple product and you have low space then use alac.
