Hi,

I need to get a couple of systems for my turntables. I think I will take any from Ortofon. I would like one that do not wear so much the records, as they are for a home basis use, but also would like to have a good sound quality and do not break my wallet. Which one would you recommend me?

Thank you!

JPF

I'm guessing you mean cartridges?

I was going to suggest https://www.shure.com/en-EU/products/dj-phono/m44-7

But it seems like Shure are no longer producing carts, and every example I have seen is a wee bit spendy... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265330925411?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB29654605&

šŸ¤£ No

Ortofon 2m red.

Dont go with a DJ cartridge unless you need to backspin cue, which you don't unless you are mixing at home.

stick with whatever type of stylus you have used in the past. switching from spherical to oval or vice versa will wear your records a lot.

I second the Ortofon Red, I've used it for my home stereo, it's a nice sounding cartridge. I've also been very satisfied with my Denon DL-110. Can't go wrong with either.
