My Technics 1700 MK II i came with Technics 270C cartridge. Recently bought Technics 2000 and it came with National Panasonic 2700 II cartridge. Technics 2000 has some severe grounding issue. I put the National Panasonic 2700 II cartridge in Technics 1700 and the sound is much much better compared to the stock 270C.
I wanted to upgrade the stock cartridge and was thinking of Ortofon 2M Red / Shure M97XE. Please suggest whether any of these cartridge will be an upgrade to the Panasonic 2700 II cartridge. Also what else would be a better choice within $200.
The preamp am using have only MM phono input, no MC input.
I listen mostly old tamil and hindi LPs in acceptable condition.
Your suggestion / help would be really appreciated.
Also if any one willing to sell a original technics headshell or any of the above cartridge please let me know.
