Zeta tonearm : cartridge recommendation

[ludovico]

Hi.

I have a Systemdek IIX turntable fitted with a Zeta tonearm. I am happy with a stock Denon DL103 but I think i’ll have to change it soon.

The price of the DL103 has gone up. So, for a budget of 250£, what cartridge would you recommend?

spend the extra,the zeta deserves a good cartridge.

I bought a used Transfiguration cartridge a few years back. Sounds great with my Zeta. Maybe you could consider a used higher quality cart - from a trusted seller of course.

If you can stretch the budget a bit, this has just gone up in the wam classifieds.

ZYX is one of the good options, it opens up the Zeta's darkish sound very well, also very good on transients.

Hi.

I have chosen the Audio Technica AT33Ev and I must say that it is a very good match.
