I am HIFI Daydreaming and I will be your host and guide through list of best phono cartridges under 750 euros.
Now to answer your first question why 750, why not round it up to pretty number 1000, and the short answer is that I was overwhelmed by choices. And to fit everything in I had to create a bunch of mini reviews for lot of cartridges, which in itself is a tough affair. I wanted to have this really small reviews,
but I wanted them to be filled with enough information you need to understand sonic basics and why I love them.
And writing it… so it does not seems that I am repeating myself, become a bore and a problem so I cut few entries from the list. This list went through a lot of changes before it was finalized,
I removed and add things from the list, and I finished with a list of my persona favorites not the ones I think that are absolutely best in this price range.

It is always great to hear other's impressions of phono cartridges and as you point out this is perhaps the largest variable in an analog system. A phono cartridge can change the overall sound of any system both for the good and the not so good. I currently use an AT VM740ML although I have a great Goldlring 1042 and several MCs as well. I like to mix it up and quite frankly I feel that some recordings are better served by a specific cartridge. Thank you again for your thoughts and they mirror my experiences with most of the cartridges you spoke about.
Thank you for watching. I think in video I said that I lack expiriance with audio technica and grado, and I will like to change that in future. But changing phono catridge to accommodate different music is a pro audiophile move. And i applaud that man.
Thank you for the wonderful information. MP 150 user here. I’d like to try something different, so this info is very helpful for me. I thought I had subscribed to your channel before, I am not a follower. Look forward to more content. Thank you again.
Nagaoka mp-150 is a wonderful catridge. And hopeful this will help you to find your next phono companion. Thanks for subscribing.
I have a MP-150 Nagoaka, I think it is possibly the best cartridge for the money. I had it with a Schiitt Mani which was absolutely fantastic combo, but swapped it for a Well Tempered RIAA stage which is totally incredible for not much money. I really can't see me upgrading tbh, but how many times do we say that!!. Great selection of cartridges there. Many thanks, Phil
Thanks, and I am glad you enjoy your mp-150, and hopefully it is not the last of the catridges that will impress you in future.
What model pre amp from well tempered do you have? Thank you.
Thank you for your informative and insightful survey. May I suggest that you incorporate a test record, such as the Hi-Fi News Analogue Test LP? By providing tracking test information, your subjective observations could be supplemented by objective results. You wouldn't need any additional test equipment - just the record itself. Doing so would place your channel head and shoulders above other phono reviewers, as well as providing invaluable information for your viewers.
Hey Neward thank you for kind words, and thank you for watching. I am getting closer with every review to add with every review test results of HIFI gear. Your idea of news analog test LP is amazing. I am definitely gonna try in future to incorporate that in my phono reviews.
I’m currently using a Denon DL 301 mk II, but this makes me want to give the 103R a try !
It won`t be such a big upgrade, but still if you can find it on half price used it might be worth getting and trying.
I have used a DL103R for maybe 10 years now and I don’t think I will ever change. It’s an amazing cartridge.
I’m getting a sumiko rainier
Great video but what is a ''mil child' 6.24 ?
Thanks! I meant as middle child between 110 and 200. As a middle child in quality and value. And usually I like products that are in middle because I always belive they bring most value for money.
