    Shure M55e + JICO neoSAS stylus easily upto the standards of the 2M black but without the expense or the PITA experience of setting it up.

    Some of the recommendations do not provide the "meaty bass and mid range" desired by the OP. His present AT is a better choice than some in that regard.

    Steve, since you specifically mention meatier bass and mid, then I would suggest looking at something like a Goldring 1042 or 1022. I have the latter, and have compared it with an Ortofon 2M Bronze on a Rega arm, and the 1022 was far more punchy, dynamic, full-bodied. Excellent bass drive and nice rich mids. The Bronze was also excellent, but quite different - more detailed, delicate, light-footed, quick. More air and ambiance than the Goldring, which was more forward and direct.

    Both are excellent, but I think the Goldring fits your description better. Let me know if you need more feedback on either.

    I've been using a Clearaudio Performer for a few weeks, it's full of meaty goodness in the low end.

    The ortofon 2m Black is a great cart, however if you want very similar performance but don’t fancy shelling out the £400 plus, then try the VMS30 mk2, you can get a very good 2nd hand one for about £150

    Technics EPC 205 is supposed to be the best. Then you have the rest of the family. EPC 206, EPC 207 and EPC 270c. They are not in production any more, but can be found as used. I have the EPC 207 and EPC 270c. I am happy with both, but happiest with the 207 on my Lenco L75. They fit the arm,, and my ears very well.
