Hi - looking for a mid range MM cartridge - for example I'm considering the following but just wondered if anyone had a lightly used one to sell?

Nagaoka MP200
AT VM750SH
Ortofon 2M Bronze


Must be low hours.

No 2nd hand one available of the others as far as I can see.

If you can get an IQ3 get it. Brilliant cartridge
If not buy that iq1 and save up for iq3 stylus.

I'm coming round to that way of thinking...

Have you got one?

The IQ1 guy is not responding atm and I'm trying to buy it

Do you know how much the IQ3 stylus is if I wanted to replace it?

Don't forget the at-150sa, it's basically same as vm750sh. To my ears it was better than nag mp500 and iq2. Works well into a valve mm stage.

thanks Graham - I'll look out for one s/h. New they are about the same as a 750sh

Interesting when the 750sh came out it was a fair bit more exxy than the 150Sa despite very similar specs. I managed to bag a spare 150Sa stylus very cheaply shortly after the 750 came out, so well set on the MM front.
