Jump To: Quick list Best budget MM Best mid-price MM Best mid-price MC Best premium MM Best premium MC Also consider How to choose How we test Looking to upgrade your turntable? That's great, but you might be able to improve the sound of your current record player simply by switching in a new cartridge, saving you the time (and money) of searching for an entirely new deck. Cartridges come in two types: moving magnet and moving coil. Moving magnet (MM) cartridges have a cantilever which transfers mechanical vibrations picked up from the record groove straight into movements of the cartridge's magnet. This movement of the magnet relative to the nearby wire coils induces current in those coils, which is then amplified and turned back into sound by the speakers. To use an MM cartridge, your amplifier will need an MM phono input to boost and equalise the low-voltage signal. A moving coil (MC) cartridge, meanwhile, has a fixed magnet and mobile coil. This coil moves within the magnetic field created by the fixed magnet, generating an electromotive force. Because the coil's moving mass is lighter than that of a magnet there is less inertia and so the increased potential of resolving more information from the record groove. But do note that these types of cartridges tend to be more expensive and have a much lower output than MM types. To use an MC cartridge, your amplifier or phono stage will need the necessary gain and ideally the loading adjustments needed for this cartridge type. We've included both types in our list of the best cartridges, which spans budget to premium models. We have been testing turntables and cartridges since the beginning of our time (well, since What Hi-Fi? was founded in 1976), and every cartridge on this list has been tested by our experienced, in-house reviewers with the appropriate turntable and system. You can find more in-depth advice on how to choose your cartridge and find out how we test cartridges, or simply scroll down to check out our top picks. The quick list Best budget MM 1.

Sumiko Rainier A fun, dynamic and musically cohesive cartridge that will lift your spirits and the performance of your turntable, provided it's of a good quality. Read more below Best mid-price MC 3. Ortofon Quintet Blue Agile, dynamic and precise, this is great value for an affordable moving coil model, and needs a suitably talented phono stage to shine. Read more below Best premium MM 4. Vertere Sabre MM Yes it's pricy, but it's an incredibly fun performer that balanced energy and rhythmic prowess with fantastic insight and control. Pair with a premium deck and you'll never stop dancing. Read more below Best premium MC 5. Pro-Ject Pick-it DS2 A robust, dynamically expressive, composed and entertaining MC cartridge that's worth every penny of its high asking price. Read more below Best budget moving magnet cartridge As a superb all-rounder, the Goldring E3 remains top of the class. (Image credit: Goldring) 1. Goldring E3 What Hi-Fi? Awards winner. One of the best budget cartridges we've heard – a fine all-rounder. Specifications Moving Magnet: Yes Moving Coil: No Cartridge weight: 6.9g Nominal tracking weight: 2.0g Tracking weight: 1.5–2.5g Reasons to buy + A refined performer + Expressive + Plays nice with other kit Reasons to avoid - More premium models available This impressive Goldring E3 is a cinch to fit and is compatible with plenty of turntables, making it a very versatile cartridge indeed. The sound is clean and precise, with plenty of clarity and power where required. It also handles rhythm well, and has attack in spades. The perfect accompaniment to many a midrange deck and easily one of the best cartridges we've heard at the affordable end of the price scale. Read the full Goldring E3 review Best mid-price moving magnet cartridge If you're careful with the install, this fun and exciting Sumiko cartridge is an affordable, rewarding proposition. (Image credit: Sumiko) 2. Sumiko Rainier What Hi-Fi? Awards winner. Fun and affordable – what’s not to like? Specifications Moving Magnet: Yes Moving Coil: No Cartridge weight: 6.5g Nominal tracking weight: 2.0g Reasons to buy + A full bodied, entertaining presentation + Good sense of punch and power + Easy to fit Reasons to avoid - Demands careful installation - Needs a good record player Sumiko knows plenty about cartridge manufacturing. The company was founded in 1982 and continues to build all of its cartridges in Japan to this day. The Rainier moving magnet sits at the more affordable end of the company’s Oyster range and looks to be a good choice for those itching for that first upgrade to their turntable. This Sumiko is a thoughtful design that’s easy to fit thanks to captive nuts inset into the body and sensibly squared-off edges that make fitting and alignment a breeze. Once up and running it's a surprisingly musical and engaging performer. Detail levels are good, but it’s more the cohesive way that the Rainier delivers all that information that makes it special. We hear plenty of punch and a great dose of dynamics when it's required. In a carefully chosen system, this is a superb performer. Read the full Sumiko Rainier review Best mid-price moving coil cartridge A well-priced moving coil cartridge that thrives on detail. (Image credit: Ortofon) 3. Ortofon Quintet Blue What Hi-Fi? Awards winner. An excellent moving coil cartridge that's very modestly priced. Specifications Moving Magnet: No Moving Coil: Yes Cartridge weight: 9g Nominal tracking weight: 2.3g Tracking weight: 2.1–2.5g Reasons to buy + Detailed, precise + Plenty of expression + Simple to fit Reasons to avoid - Demands the right kit Ortofon has been making turntable cartridges since 1948, and it seems like all its expertise went into this one. The Quintet Blue moving coil is a true five-star product: simple to fit, not too heavy, so easy to balance out, and capable of a sound that's worth every penny of its asking price. It's an agile sound, with a high level of sonic precision that's brimming with detail. Plenty of refinement is evident too, and it's rhythmically surefooted with a good sense of attack. Just make sure you partner it with the right kit, otherwise it'll be like fitting pram wheels to a Ferrari. Read the full Ortofon Quintet Blue review Best premium moving magnet cartridge Want to go premium? The moving magnet Vertere Sabre cartridge is your go-to. (Image credit: Vertere) 4. Vertere Sabre MM A premium moving magnet design that's fun, insightful and entertaining. Specifications Moving Magnet: Yes Moving Coil: No Cartridge weight: 10.3g Nominal tracking weight: 2.0g Reasons to buy + Musical and organised presentation + Expressive dynamics + Easy to fit Reasons to avoid - Priced deep into moving coil territory The Sabre moving magnet is a carefully considered design, as we’ve come to expect from Vertere. That bold orange body isn’t just for show. It’s machined out of a solid block of aluminium for rigidity and clamps onto the generator structure with four bolts rather than being glued on performance and alignment grounds. The cartridge body’s top is raised at three points to ensure a solid and even contact with the headshell, and the front of the top even has a ridge to aid easy alignment. The result is a bold performer that's confident without being in any way overbearing. Listening to Orff’s rambunctious Carmina Burana, we can’t help but be thrilled by the energy and drive of the music. We said in our review: "The Sabre delivers this dramatic piece with all the gusto it demands. We get explosive dynamic peaks coupled with an impressive sense of control." While the Sabre's high £845 / $1199 / AU$1695 price puts it deep into traditional moving coil territory, this is one premium moving magnet we can really get behind. Read the full Vertere Sabre MM review Best premium moving coil cartridge A musical, easy-to-fit cartridge with plenty of personality. (Image credit: Pro-Ject) 5. Pro-Ject Pick-it DS2 This moving coil cartridge bursting with talent and musicality. Specifications Moving Magnet: No Moving Coil: Yes Cartridge weight: 9g Nominal tracking weight: 2.2g Tracking weight: 2.0–2.5g Reasons to buy + Entertaining sound + Simple to fit + Gets the best out of any genre Reasons to avoid - A little excitable for some The Pick-it DS2's body is made of a synthetic polymer and shaped by laser, in a bid to create a low-resonance base and help performance. And it works. The sound is thoroughly robust and dynamically expressive, with plenty of punch and bags of bass. The presentation is composed, and there's a ton of detail to get your teeth into. It's a doddle to fit and align too, thanks to its square-shaped body. Costing £599, truly capable and musical performer. Read the full Pro-Ject Pick-it DS2 review Also consider Vertere Dark Sabre: Proving a high-end moving magnet cartridge can compete with the best of moving coils, the Dark Sabre MM delivers an impressively punchy and dynamic sound and digs out phenomenal levels of detail. Nagaoka MP110: A cheerful budget upgrade from a reputable brand, this MM cartridge delivers a sweet midrange, subtle detail and dynamics beyond its price point. We'd like less edgy treble and more bass weight, though. Ortofon 2M Blue MM: If you want a step up from the budget Ortofon 2M Red, the mid-priced Blue model is a more serious affair with better grip, timing and bass weight. We'd like it to dig out greater insight to go with that even-handedness. DS Audio DS-003: What's an optical cartridge? We didn't know either until we tested this unique, high-end cartridge that shows there is a third option for cartridge types, and it sounds fantastic when it comes to clarity, resolution and bass weight. How to choose the right cartridge for you When choosing the right cartridge for your turntable, it's important to ask how much should you spend on a cartridge in the first place. As a rule of thumb, we suggest your cartridge's price should be about a quarter to a third of the price of your turntable. For instance, if you have a £200 turntable, then a £50-£70 cartridge should be adequate, while a £650 turntable (such as the Rega Planar 3) will require a cartridge that's about £150-£200 (such as the matching Rega Nd3 cartridge). We have a more in-depth guide on how to change and fit a new cartridge to your turntable, but in general, most cartridges will fit onto most tonearms; you'll just need an alignment tool and a tracking force gauge if fitting the cartridge yourself. If you have a high-end turntable, it’s worth asking the dealer to set it up for you. There are two types of cartridges – moving magnet and moving coil – and which type you go for will depend on the level (both in price and quality) of the rest of your system. For most turntables below £1000, it's best to stick with moving magnet (MM) cartridges. At this level, the partnering amplifier and phono stage can be of varying quality, and a moving magnet will put less of a spotlight on your phono stage's quality because it has a higher output. If your turntable is at about £1500 and above, then it's worth looking into moving coil (MC) cartridges. At this higher price level, the partnering phono stage and amplifier in your system will need to be of a certain higher quality level too, and you will reap the rewards of an MC cartridge more in this context. Many standalone phono stages and amplifiers (or streaming systems) with phono stages built in will quite often support both cartridge types. However, it's worth bearing in mind that even if a budget phono stage can support MC cartridges, it may not be worth investing as it likely won't be of good quality to show the benefits. Your phono stage has to be of a certain quality (and therefore higher price point) for the advantages of the higher-priced MC cartridges to be apparent in your system. And lastly, you don't necessarily have to match turntable and cartridge brands, but many manufacturers that design their own cartridges (e.g. Rega, Vertere) tune them to match their own turntables. But there are plenty of cartridge makers whose models can be used with any turntable, especially when you get to high-end models – just make sure you read up on reviews (such as ours, of course) to ensure the sonic characteristics will match. How we test cartridges What Hi-Fi? has been reviewing turntables and cartridges of all types and across budgets since the magazine started in 1976, and we are proud to do all our testing in-house. We have state-of-the-art and acoustically treated testing facilities in London and Reading, where our team of experienced reviewers test everything from TVs to turntables, including cartridges. We are always impartial in our testing and ensure we test and hear every cartridge at its optimum – fitted to the appropriate turntable and phono stage at its price level, and all placed on a sturdy and level surface. We make sure the cartridge is fitted correctly using the required tools and give them plenty of run in time before serious listening. We use each cartridge being tested in its best use case with the right electronics, as well as try out a few different options to see how it copes with a variety of products. We spend ample time testing each cartridge, playing a variety of records and genres of music to get the full picture. Here's a selection of the best vinyl records we use to test all things turntable-related. What Hi-Fi? is all about comparative testing, so we listen to every cartridge we review against the current leader in its price point to gauge how it compares to the best-in-class competition. We keep What Hi-Fi? winners and a range of cartridges in our stockroom (as well as a variety of turntables) so we can always pit new products against ones we know and love, and we do our best to review as many new models in as many markets as possible to ensure our contextual knowledge is the best it can be. All review verdicts are agreed upon by the team as a whole rather than an individual reviewer to eliminate any personal preference and bias, and to make sure we're being as thorough as possible. There's no input from PR companies or our sales team when it comes to the verdict, with What Hi-Fi? proud of having delivered honest, unbiased reviews for decades.

Like the PC-1, the Supreme is a model of low internal impedance and high energy. Killer good on transients top to bottom, with phenomenal grip and definition in the low bass, it is also exceptionally lifelike in the midband, with even more of the gorgeous density of tone color, high resolution, and superior soundstaging that made the PC-1 such a breakthrough. RH’s reference. JV, 190 Lyra Atlas Lambda/Atlas Lambda SL $11,995/$12,995 If you’re in the market for a top-end cartridge, Lyra offers not one but two versions of its signature Atlas. The first has 0.56mV output, the second 0.25mV. Which one to choose? The regular Atlas offers a bit more slam and sizzle than the super-low-output version. But the lower-output Atlas provides more finesse and lower noise. Rock aficionados will probably gravitate to the regular Atlas, but for classical the higher-priced cartridge is probably the better match. But both are superlative cartridges that will provide a spellbinding presentation of well-nigh any LP. JHb, 276, 284 (Lambda version not yet reviewed) Van den Hul Colibri XGW Signature Stradivarius $11,995 Type Moving-coil Output voltage 5.6cm/sec.: 0.75mV Stylus type VDH Type 1s on solid boron cantilever Stylus tip radius r/R 2/85µm Tracking force range 1.35–1.5 grams Optimal load impedance 50–600 ohms Load impedance 50–47k ohms Cartridge body material Koa Wood with Stradivarius-type lacquer Price $11,995 The top-of-the line Colibri XGW Signature Stradivarius (0.75mV output) features a Koa wood body with triple Stradivarius-type lacquer coating, 24-karat gold coils, solid boron cantilever, and VDH Type 1s stylus. It is characterized by a clarity and lucidity in the presence region, coupled with a smoothness and sweetness in the treble. It is also dynamically authoritative, with lively and propulsive transient reproduction. AJ, 279 Read the full review: Van den Hul Crimson XGW Stradivarius and Colibri XGW Signature Stradivarius HiFiction X-Quisite ST $13,160 The X-Quisite cartridge is constructed in Switzerland with horological precision. Right off the bat, the translucency and transient accuracy of this 0.3mV moving coil are abundantly apparent. There may, in fact, be no other cartridge that quite manages to duplicate its lock on the transient note, a quality that provides a kind of window into the performer’s intention that is difficult to forget. The X-Quisite revels in disinterring previously obscured detail but is in no way astringent. The finest shadings, the most delicate filigree, are presented with aplomb. JHb, 317 Read the full review: HiFiction X-quisite ST Cartridge DS Audio Grand Master $15,000 ($45,000 for Grand Master equalizer and PS) The DS Audio Grand Master optical transducer comes closer to the sound of R2R tape than any other phono cartridge on the market. Yes, it is expensive, though you don’t have to buy the dedicated Grand Master EQ/PS units to get your sonic money’s worth. (Any DS Audio EQ device will work with it—and there is a wide variety of them at a wide variety of prices, starting below $2k.) Unlike every other phono cartridge and phonostage on the market, the Grand Master and its EQ units are dead quiet—without a trace of the hum, buzz, RF, and self-noise that we’ve simply learned to live with. The elimination of the usual background racket, coupled to an optical system’s inherently deeper and fuller presentation of the bass and lower midrange, rich, supremely detailed midband, and sweet, airy, ribbon-like treble, makes for the most “complete” and (given a great LP) most realistic reproduction of the music and musicians on LPs JV has yet heard. A Grand Masterpiece. JV, 317 Read the full review: DS Audio Grand Master Cartridge and Grand Master Equalizer Air Tight Opus-1 $15,800 Air Tight’s top-line moving-coil cartridge adds even more resolution, dimensionality, and energy to the beautiful reproduction of tone color and superior soundstaging that the PC-1 Supreme is justly famous for. Though not quite the non-stop thrill-machine and sonic vacuum cleaner that the Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement is, the Opus has a smoother, better-behaved upper midrange and treble and (building on one of the strengths of the Supreme) phenomenally deep-reaching, superbly defined, extraordinarily quick and powerful bass. Quite neutral in balance, it has the speed and resolution of über-cartridges, without any trace of the analytic. One of JV’s and RH’s references. JV, 261 Read the full review: Air Tight Opus-1 Ermitage Moving-Coil Cartridge Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement V2 $16,000 Simply the best—which is to say, the most sonically complete—moving-coil cartridge JV has heard. Peter Suchy has here managed to combine all the virtues of past Goldfingers (their phenomenal low-level resolution, their tremendous energy, their vast soundstaging) with a previously unattained richness of tone color to produce a cartridge unlike any other. Like a cross between a Koetsu and a Clearaudio, the Statement will appeal to just about any kind of listener (provided he’s got enough do-re-mi). JV’s reference mc.
