Nice arm and turntable! But, a pain to switch to 45 RPMs. I have direct-drive tables with buttons. Much simpler. :)

Oh, BTW... my treasured Marley. Bought in brand new, a LONG time ago. #353. :thumbsup:

Yes that is a Sumiko FT3 made by Jelco they also made the original AR Arm that came with the turntable and I am using a
NAGAOKA MM (MP) Cartridge MP-110
 
nefertem7, sorry you are the OP! Boy! Sure pays to actually read the threads. :rolleyes:

Go with the Nagaoka. Try to get the MP-150. You will like it, much better over the MP-110. :thumbsup: upgrading the MP-150 replacement stylus onto the MP-110 body works, but may not be an improvement over the plain MP-110/

Do you like the sound of the Nagaoka on the AR? If you can afford it, the MP-200 is a most awesome MM cartridge. I like it better than the Grado Red, Ortofon 2M Bronze, and the AT VM760SLC (all which I sold off). I ran all the carts in my Sony 2251 through the NAD 1600 built-in phono pre-amp. The MP-200 has better separation of instruments. Better bass. Smoother midrange response. And it wasn't close on my system and my ears.

The only reason I'm not currently using the Nagaoka, is I went to stand-alone MC phono pre-amp and MC carts. Which to my ears are even better then and MM Nagaoka. BTW... I did try the Nagaoka MP-500 and liked the MP-200, better. Smoother midrange to treble response. The MP-500 was a bit too bright for my tastes. Almost like a "house" MM AT sound.

Mr Boochie it is Awesome especially listening to Female Vocals like Rita Coolidge, Yvonne Elliman and Laura Nyro Smile Album I also like a lot of Jazz fusion Klaus Doldlinger’s Passport my Cartridge history from when I first bought the Table was Denon 110 and then a 160 (before the price increased a lot) I tried a Audio Quest cartridge and back to the 110 until I replaced the arm with the Sumiko and started using the Sumiko Oyster
 
Female vocal albums have always been one of my tests of new setups and doo-dads added to the system. Along with your selections, I like Astrud Gilberto, Sade, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, and of course... Dusty Springfield.
