Further to my recent post http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/buying-via-hifi-do-in-japan.769262/ I pulled the trigger on a Kenwood KP-1100 turntable which is (hopefully) arriving this week. It's a Japanese model but from as much as I can ascertain it's the same as the KD-990 that was released in the west.
Anyhow, it comes with a headshell fitted with a new Shure M44G cart. Given the outlay I could probably do without any additional expense right now, however from what I've read the tonearm is pretty nice and probably deserves a higher quality cartridge. Consequently, I'll be looking to upgrade in the coming months.
From what I understand, it appears to be a medium mass tonearm: can any of you guys suggest any suitable MM carts in the Ortofon 2M Bronze price category (or lower)?
