Dave’s Faves – Ortofon MC Quintet Blue
Ortofon MC Quintet Blue, $569 First of all, Ortofon is a REAL MANUFACTURER, based in Denmark. Yup, Ortofon builds its own cartridges in its own house with Danish TENDER LOVING CARE. I have to tell ya, it’s a pleasure selling Orto carts because they always WORK, and work right. You would be surprised that many cartridge brands are inconsistent and unreliable. I’ve…

There are many respectable phono preamps, but few cut the mustard in terms of MC performance/noise floor in particular. MoFi’s UltraPhono DOES, and for a very reasonable price. I’m recommending you run the UltraPhono and put the lion’s share of…
