My TD 165 I scored on BT last summer will soon return from restoration and upgrading by STS outside of Nashville. Work is hectic, and with two small children, my time is valuable and I would rather spend what little free time I have LISTENING to the music, rather than working on the repairs I just love the styling of the 16x series, so I thought it better to restore to its full potential rather than buy new or move on to another vintage table. Now that I have invested in getting this table back to its potential I figure I ought to think about getting a new cartridge as well!
I've been running a Grado ZF1+ and have been happy with this, but recently picked up a "new" headshell giving me the ability to easily switch out cartridges. I have been intrigued to try an MC cart, but honestly am at a loss of where to start.
Anyone have any suggestions of entry level cart upgrades? The arm on the 165 is the stock arm, and as this has just recently been restored, I will not be changing this out anytime soon so please keep stock arm requirements in mind!
