Have a 25 year old Dual 522 in good shape. It came with the small Ortofon cartridge custom-designed for that series of turntables, which was supposed to control tonearm resonance. Cartridge was supposed to be equivalent to OM5. I would like to upgrade to something better, e.g OM20 Super, OM30 Super, X3-MC, Grado, I don't know.
What cartridges work well with such a light tonearm?
Is this low end turntable worth the upgrade (will there be a surprise)?
