Hi all,
I posted about a week ago regarding an issue with my AT440MLa cartridge. I talked about how I was getting a scratchy distortion noise coming from one speaker every so often. After a few fellow A-K'ers responded it sounds like it may be a case of 'Stylus Wear'. If this is offcially the case I'm going to be in line for a new cartridge. I have really enjoyed my 440MLa for the year and a half that I have owned it, but I'm wondering if I might want to try something else. The 2M Red has always caught my eye and I see it come up a lot around here. How does the 2M Red compare with the 440MLa? Is it considered a downgrade?
My current system includes a 440MLa cartridge connected to a AT-PL120. I use a Marantz 2215B receiver with a Cambridge 640-P Pre Amp.
What do you guys think? Any other cartridges you would recommend?
