When I got tired of listening to digitized music and went back into the vinyl format a few years ago, I first bought an AT-LP120 turntable that set me back about $300. Starting with a cartridge upgrade is the way to go for most of us. In his opinion, it will only make sense to upgrade other parts (motor, drive, tonearm, etc.) before the cartridge if you have a very high-end turntable and cartridge. In the video below, turntable and tonearm designer Frank Schröder points out that a cartridge upgrade usually is the best way to make a normal turntable sound better. I have tried i variety of mods and upgrades on my turntables, but a cartridge upgrade is definitely the upgrade with the biggest impact on sound quality. I upgraded the cartridges on both my turntables last year and I was very pleased with how much better it made the turntables sound. There is often a lot of sonic potential left on the table that can be tapped into with a higher quality cartridge. The cartridge has a huge impact on the sonic performance of a turntable, and most affordable and midrange turntables come standard with cartridges that don’t extract their full sonic potential. If you are looking to make your turntable sound better, a cartridge upgrade is a very good place to start.
In this article, we’ll look at some of the most popular, best sounding and most loved phono cartridges that are perfect to upgrade affordable and midrange turntables.
