Ok, everyone, I could use some advice.
I’m currently running a MoFi Studiodeck into a MoFi StudioPhono preamp, and an Ortofon Blue cartridge/needle.
I need some cartridge/needle recommendations. I’ve always loved the sound of my setup, but I’m starting to question the high end and mids response on it. it’s a long story on why, but basically I ripped a test pressing of a record I’ve been working on, and my rip sounded nothing like the master we sent. And I asked some friends to rip the test press on their systems, and no one’s rip sounded as scooped in the mids or as trebly as mine (and these systems are all over the map in terms of fanciness) so I’m starting to think that maybe I don’t have the best cartridge for this TT/preamp.
I’m looking at AT stuff cause I can get those at a local dealer here with no wait.
Anyone have any experience with them? Thinking of going moving coil instead of the MM.
Trying to stick in the $500-ish range, but I could sell a few things and get something pricier if absolutely necessary.
