Grado claims that shielding would distort the magnetic flux lines. Grados hum because their moving iron element, where the signal is generated, operates in a gap in their magnetic circuit.which is unshielded. Grado have a nice soft warm sound that's perfect for older LP's and sound great with Jazz but all Grado's HUM!!! The AT440MLa is one potential option and will mate well with the bog standard Technics arm. I tried the 2M Blue and I hated it :-DĪudio Technica is a potential option, they track very well but a bit bright. Tracking is important because dance music is cut very hot, if it can't track the over modulated records you'll just get a load of distortion and sibilance. This seems to be a fashion now days especially with lower end stuff it seems!!! I guess it sounds more exciting and gives vinyl a bit of "life" and "presence" but let me ask you, why do you buy studio monitors for? Do you want your phono cart to have it's own funky eq? You could tame it by fiddling with the input capacitance but it still won't track for shit The 2M Blue is a poor tracker and very bright, it's got an accented top end which was confirmed in reviews and technical tests. Ortofon are too bright and can't track for sh*t
I'm sure they still do in terms of mic's but not in terms of a phono cartridges. I wouldn't touch Shure phono carts, that stuff is for old people who think Shure is a brand that still makes quality products. I'd recommend having a look at the Cambridge Audio 640p phono stage or the newer model what ever that is. I wouldn't recommend the DL-103 as it's a low output moving coil, you'll need step up transformers but it is a good phono cart and can actually be used to back cue too! It was made for broadcast applications in Japan and then became really popular with hi-fi people, it's one of the longest produced pieces of hi-fi out there and the basic model which is still sold today came out in 1962. Does the Orpheus have a way of setting the input levels/gains? If not you'll have the phono pre potentially overloading it's A-D depending on the pressing and phono cart output.
