I am thinking about getting one of the new AT VM95 cartridges for my Technics 1200 mkii. They cost around $200 for the shibata and $170 for the microline. AT claims you can get 1000 hours for the microline and 800 hours for the shibata.
What other factors should I take into consideration? I have read that the microline reveals more surface noise. Is there a general consensus as to which one sounds better?
thx
